“My dear,Find what you love and let it kill you.Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.~ Falsely yours”

American poet and novelist of the 20th century, Charles Bukowski is best known for his raw, unflinching portrayals of working-class life and his rebellious, often darkly humorous prose. His work, steeped in grit and authenticity, captures the struggles and resilience of ordinary people with uncompromising honesty.
