 | Love is a Dog From Hell by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $12.23 / Used from: $8.53 My favorite of his poetry. I feel like its the "Women" of poems. Great Buk period (74-77). Many consider it to be his best work.

 | You Get So Alone at Times by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $6.99 Another great collection. Here we have Buk getting older, and I feel the poems here are more emotional, but its still the brutally honest, straight forward Buk we all know and love.

 | The Roominghouse Madrigals: Early Selected Poems 1946-1966 by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $10.20 / Used from: $5.25 In his early work we can see more colorful and wordy poems, some of his classics are in the collection. A must read for anyone who is a fan.

 | Play the Piano Drunk Like a Percussion Instrument until the Fingers Begin to Bleed a Bit by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $11.70 / Used from: $8.29 This collection I would suggest first for anyone who hasn't read Bukowski's poems. Play the Piano has it all; drinking, women, hard times. Contains the classic "Fire Station", I think this poem gives you a feel of the entire book.

 | The Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain: New Poems by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $13.29 / Used from: $4.11 Great poems written at the end of Buk's life, published after his death. Still the same dirty old man, but we can feel him reflecting on his life.
|
 | Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $12.48 / Used from: $8.95 The "Greatest Hits" of his early poetry. Contains the classic, and long out of print 'Crucifix in a Death hand' collection. Another great introduction to Buk's poetry.
A favorite in this book- "To the whore who took my poems".
|
 | War All the Time by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $10.88 / Used from: $7.50 Great period in Buk's writing. Written during the time of "Ham on Rye". Although this book has a lot of filler, there are some really wonderful poems in here which are worth purchasing the book for.

 | The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses by Charles Bukowski
Buy new: $11.70 / Used from: $8.50 Many consider this to be his finest. I disagree, but still think its worth reading.
