Love is a Dog From Hell

Product Information

I think you nailed it right here: "Without the proper intelligence, love doesn't exist and I'm not talking about IQ or intelligence for getting good grades in school, but the intelligence related to experiencing emotions and love. Village Voice critic Robert Christgau named "Emotional Idiot", "Jenny's Shirt", and "Scab Maids on Speed" as highlights while giving the album an honorable mention in his May 1997 "Consumer Guide" column. Once when I was in elementary school, some tall man came inside the class with a holy bible on his hand.

He’s often boorish in a creepy, voyeuristic way; the commodification of women and young girls--yup, we get pedophilia here too--is unappealing, to say the least. Love him or hate him, Charles Bukowski was a bitter, drunken asshole with a gift for putting onto paper all the ugliness and baseness hiding in the human heart.

I'm fucking tired of the constant rambling about cock, balls, ejaculation, sperm, penis, thrusts, sex, whores, prostitutes, broads, breasts, beds, ass, cock, balls, sex, ass, cock, balls, ass, whores, panties, crotch, calves, sex, sex, sex. All in all, I’m glad I’ve read Bukowski, but I feel like my life has taken me places where his opinions no longer really reach me. Alternating between tough and gentle, sensitive and gritty, Bukowski lays bare the myriad facets of love—its selfishness and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery, and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance, and redemptive power.

Still, those moments of beauty are worth coming back for, and I can’t express enough how cool it was to find the notes from my friend. An amazing poet that has rich soiled land in which he can plow however he wants according to his rich dictionary, and its enormous space yields him great production, even though some of his writings words isn't taken from old English but rather from modern English or papers English, and he intentionally do so, so he chooses easier words and rather pour his focus on the poetic image. These are poems that make you think and although the writings were obviously personal to him, i think you can relate in ways.He is, at best, a rude misogynist, but under the layers of dysphemism, we see a heart drowning in sorrow (and booze). To paraphrase the passage from Love is a Dog From Hell and say that I can’t be sure if this is good poetry or bad acid.

They force us to obsess so that in the end we can have a satisfying relationship that allows us to breath as individuals and pursue a career and profound friendships. Bound in publisher's original paper-covered boards over red flecked patterned corduroy cloth backstrip, hand bound by Earle Gray.Bukowski has been through some shit and the '70s weren't that great in general, but the majority of these poems have not aged well and his point of view is, frankly, problematic.

Most people, especially teenagers, chase after love like its something they need but instead it's ego-centric desire and lust. Humans are such fragile creatures compared to other species in regards to our mental health if you think about it. All through the poems here are allusions to the ‘red haired woman’, whom Bukowski shows a deep regret in loosing.A classic in the Bukowski canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love. Some of the other reviews here do a better job than I can in describing the style of the writing and the way it might affect a reader. I mean, compared to something like the fucking DaVinci Code (that should be the title; The Fucking DaVinci Code), which has sold 40 million copies. A stunning release - and I would dearly love to hear an album of all the extraordinary GODFLESH dub mixes in one place (is there one?
