Love Is A Dog From Hell: By Charles Bukowski (picture below)

If you've ever read Charles Bukowski, you wouldn't mistake his work for anything else. Love Is A Dog From Hell is a very intrinsic collection of short poems, stories and notes that stem from a mixture of Bukowski's dark imagination and his gruff personal experiences. To Bukowski, love was full of unstable quandaries, it was adorned with sharp thorns, unpredictable viciousness, had an appetite for your own peice of mind, but most of all, love to Bukowski was a dog from hell.

Some people might flip open the first page of this work and think they are reading the work of a time worn, disgusting waste of society, nine to five burn-out that is an alcohlic and an obscene petifile. When in fact I believe that Charles Bukowski holds the ability to simplify in his own words the most complicated form of expression known to man, Love. Love was always abundant in Bukowski's life, just not the kind we know. The reason love for him was so calamitous and crude though, as portrayed in his writing, shows the reader how love for Bukowski was when it bit him in the ass and it hurt.

Charles as he was growing up did not have the essence of love surrounding him that many of us would call affection. He would be commanded to cut the grass by his father and if young Charles missed one single blade, that was another unwarrented beating he would have to endure. His father drank too, so like father like son. Bukowski sees love in a whole different dimension. Love for this romantic man was when the love of his life packed her bags and left him for eternity, love was shouting and yelling and throwing things to cause pain. In Love Is A Dog From Hell, underlies the secret of a man who knew tough love better than any of us could. There was a lot of love, or what he would call love surrounding his entire life. For Bukowski love came in empty bourbon bottle form or a punch in the face and women who would leave his side to never return before he woke up in the morning. That was his reality, that was the dog from hell and every last one of us has taken that enigmatic road at least a few times in our lives. Charles Bukowski has been to hell and back in more ways than women. In Love is a Dog From Hell, he's got the scars to prove it.
