Book excerpt: in this place there are the dead, the deadly and the dying. there is the cross, the builders of the cross and the burners of the cross. the pattern of my life forms like a cheap shadow on the wall before me. my love what is left of it now must crawl to wherever it can crawl. the strongest know that death is final and the happiest are those gifted with the shortest journey.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A classic in the Bukowski poetry canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love. A book that captures the Dirty Old Man of American letters at his fiercest and most vulnerable, on a subject that hits home with all of us. Charles Bukowski was a man of intense emotions, someone an editor once called a “passionate madman.” Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love—its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power. "there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock."

Book excerpt: “Wordsworth, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and the Beats in their respective generations moved poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little farther.” –Los Angeles Times Book Review In what is widely hailed as the best of his many novels, Charles Bukowski details the long, lonely years of his own hardscrabble youth in the raw voice of alter ego Henry Chinaski. From a harrowingly cheerless childhood in Germany through acne-riddled high school years and his adolescent discoveries of alcohol, woman, and the Los Angeles Public Library's collection of D.H. Lawrence, Ham on Rye offers a crude, brutal, and savagely funny portrait of an outcast's coming-of-age during the desperate days of the Great Depression.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: the gas line is leaking, the bird is gone from the cage, the skyline is dotted with vultures; Benny finally got off the stuff and Betty now has a job as a waitress; and the chimney sweep was quite delicate as he giggled up through the soot. I walked miles through the city and recognized nothing as a giant claw ate at my stomach while the inside of my head felt airy as if I was about to go mad. it’s not so much that nothing means anything but more that it keeps meaning nothing, there’s no release, just gurus and self- appointed gods and hucksters. the more people say, the less there is to say. even the best books are dry sawdust. —from "fingernails; nostrils; shoelaces"

Book excerpt: Beer goggles, whiskey staggers, and a martini for a muse create an old-fashioned cocktail of toughness in this saloon-centered book of verse. When it’s time to wind down at the end of the day, the comfort of a neighborhood dive can’t be beat. But when a poet starts downing drinks, the scribbled marks on his bar napkin result in a raw and rough-hewn look at man’s most heartfelt emotions. And with alcohol-driven acuity, this book helps every whistle-wetter, day-drinker, and bartender find new enjoyment in the hardships and happiness of mundane existence. From hilarious haiku to self-loathing limericks, soul-searcher and award-winning writer Randall McNair’s carefully honed craft shines in this drunkenly introspective measure of human consciousness. Covering a wide range of themes that confront the absurdities of life head-on, this collection showcases his willingness to drink the dregs and come back for more. If you’ve ever thought of poets as staid or incomprehensible, the burn of McNair’s high-proof stanzas will transform your viewpoint and take you on an unforgettable journey. Last Call is the third volume in the Bar Poems series of vividly chaotic verse. If you like honest humor, dark insights, and rhyming under the influence, then you’ll love Randall McNair’s top-shelf shot of poetry. Buy Last Call and stagger home to wisdom today!
