Буковски е легендарен с това, че е писал почти всяка вечер, а на следващата сутрин е унищожавал по-голямата част от написаното - и все пак за петдесет години е оставил хиляди стихотворения. Включените тук са деветдесет и пет. Буковски дестилира живота, за да достигне до самата му същност, и извлича вълшебството на всекидневието с неподражаема, недостижима простота."
