The Roominghouse Madrigals

Charles Bukowski

Black Sparrow Press, Santa Ana. 1989. Second printing. Some sun toning to the spine, quite fine otherwise. An excellent copy.

From the publisher:

"The Roominghouse Madrigals is a selection of poetry from Charles Bukowski's early work. It shows a slightly softer side to the beloved barfly."

As described, a slightly less acerbic tone dominates here, though don't get me wrong, works like "I Don't Need a Bedsheet with Slits for Eyes to Kill You In" is up there with his greatest pieces. Still Bukowski, still essential, and a great overview of an often passed over portion of his career.
