Love is a Dog From Hell

Product Information

Love Is a Dog from Hell (first published 1977) is a collection of Bukowski's poetry from the mid-seventies. A classic in the Bukowski canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love. Bukowski, the poet that not even translation betrays him, this is how I found Bukowski. An amazing poet that has rich soiled land in which he can plow however he wants according to his rich dictionary, and its enormous space yields him great production, even though some of his writings words isn't taken from old English but rather from modern English or papers English, and he intentionally do so, so he chooses easier words and rather pour his focus on the poetic image. a b Kaufman, Gil (May 31, 1997).

dark shades prayer in bad weather melancholia a stethoscope case eat your heart out the retreat I made a mistake alone with everybody the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but they keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there s no chance at all: we are all trapped by a singular fate. nobody ever finds the one. the city dumps fill the junkyards fill the madhouses fill the hospitals fill the graveyards fill nothing else fills.

This collection of Poems from the '70s depicts the author's experiences about Love, heartbreaks, loss, women, society and all the struggling experiences that an individual faces upon. A dog, in this case, represents all the raw emotions and crazy adventures that we perceive as love. The tribulations of life are like flames, we try to run but we can't escape them.

A discussion in a night club about the benefits of slavery soon gives its place to violence, with the film gradually becoming a mixture of road movie and musical, as the the protagonist finds out about the death of her beloved Euridico, but still insists on searching for him, even if her travels bring her down to hell.

Charles Bukowski’s poetry is polarizing. You either love it or hate it, and after reading “Love is a Dog from Hell,” I’ve found myself in the latter camp.

Henry Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920, Andernach, Germany - March 9, 1994, San Pedro Peninsula Hospital) was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles. The love Bukowski talks about is not tender. It's rough, dirty, vicious, often humiliating, sometimes cathartic.
