In the literary pantheon, Charles Bukowski remains a counterculture luminary. A
hard-drinking wild man of literature and a stubborn outsider to the poetry world
, he has struck a chord with generations of readers, writing raw, tough poetry a
bout booze, work, and women in an authentic voice that is, like the work of the
Beats, iconoclastic and even dangerous.
Edited by his longtime publisher, John
Martin, of Black Sparrow Press, and now in paperback, The Continual Condition in
cludes more ofthis legend s never-before-collected poems."
