Bukowski…why should I read him? What does he have to offer? What did he get in life? I don’t read Bukowski for learning anything, I don’t read him to become more intelligent. I read him to feel the dirt, the disgust, the filth that is very much part of all of us, but we refuse to accept. He did that gracefully. He told us what matters, without putting it in the basket of right or wrong.
You, don’t claim to be a good man/woman. What is good, but a parameter others set, or we set that suit others…you do a lot of things in those dark corners of your life, and they are so disgusting that you would not want to admit to yourself, let alone to the world. This man admitted that. He told us that we can be graceful and low at the same time. Then we can still look up when our heads are bowed!
Hail Bukowski!
Live with gods and be the gods…

Courage is synonimous with Bukowski and he makes everyone feel the same. You have put the right words to describe this extraordinary guy.
