It turns out I really liked his late work (i.e. the poems he wrote after 1985) compared to his poems before 80s
And the first half of this collection is from before 80s. Therefore 4 stars but what a character and poet:
This collection has some of his best known poems like “the bluebird”, “dinosaria, we”, etc.

I've read Bukowski so many years ago for the first time and loved it, so this was a great re-iinroduction.
Looking forward to reading more from him, i.e Ham on Rye (novel) and The last night of the Earth Poems.
