Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary
writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its most
influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach,
Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and
brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in
Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San
Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three,
shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.
Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie
fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of
Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the
Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.
"Wordsworth, Whitman, William Carlos Williams and The Beats in their respective generations moved poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little farther." - Los Angeles Times Book Review
