Synopsis "sifting through the madness for the word, the line, the way,new poems"

One of the most recognizable poets of the last century, Charles Bukowski is simultaneously a common man and an icon of urban depravity. He uses strong, blunt language to describe life as he lives it, and through it all charts the mutations of morality in modern America.Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way is a treasure trove of confessional poetry written towards then end of Bukowski's life. With the overhang of failing health and waning fame, he reflects on his travels, his gambling and drinking, working, not working, sex and love, eating, cats, and more.Sifting Through is Bukowski at his most meditative - published posthumously, it's completely non-performative, and gets to the heart of Bukowski's lifelong pursuit of natural language and raw honesty.We recommend you read this as Bukowski wrote: by sifting through the madness for what hits you as the word, the line, the way.

Heinrich Karl Bukowski (Andernach, Alemania, 16 de agosto de 1920-San Pedro, Los Ángeles, 9 de marzo de 1994), conocido como (Henry) Charles Bukowski, fue un escritor de relatos, novelista y poeta estadounidense nacido en Alemania, representante del realismo sucio y considerado como un «poeta maldito», debido a su excesivo alcoholismo, pobreza y bohemia.

La obra literaria de Bukowski está fuertemente influida por la atmósfera de la ciudad de Los Ángeles, donde pasó la mayor parte de su vida. Hoy en día es considerado uno de los escritores más influyentes de la literatura estadounidense y uno de los símbolos del «realismo sucio» y de la literatura independiente.

Bukowski escribió libros de diversos géneros, tales como: diarios, relatos, novelas, poesías, ensayos e incluso llegó a escribir Barfly, un guion cinematográfico basado en su alter ego Henry Chinaski, dirigida por el cineasta francés Barbet Schroeder, película en donde realizó un cameo en un bar. Esta experiencia la recopiló en un libro de relatos, Hollywood (1989).
