Beginning with a number of stills and the sound of a voice reciting poetry, the stillness gives its place to the perpetual movement that characterizes the movie, starting with a live performance in the slums of Manila, introducing the protagonist, Orphea, shining within the grotesqueness of the environment she inhabits. A discussion in a night club about the benefits of slavery soon gives its place to violence, with the film gradually becoming a mixture of road movie and musical, as the the protagonist finds out about the death of her beloved Euridico, but still insists on searching for him, even if her travels bring her down to hell. the professors sitting with the professors we talk about Allen Tate and John Crow Ransom the rugs are clean and the coffeetables shine and there is talk of budgets and works in progress and there is a fireplace. the kitchen floor is well-waxed and I have just eaten dinner after drinking until 3 a.m. after reading the night before now I m to read again at a nearby college.

Henry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty booksChristgau, Robert (2000). "E". Christgau's Consumer Guide: Albums of the '90s.

You had to find out by yourself. It's the pleasure flowing through your body during intercourse; the pain echoing in your bedroom (and in your heart) after another unhappy relationship; the regrets, the self-contempt, your face ageing day by day, the scent on your pillow - the last fading traces of someone who still found you desirable... This collection contains a poem that not only introduced me to Knut Hamsun (who is now one of my favorite authors), but I’ve always kept in mind as a darkly comical motivation for being a writer: How to be a Good Writer The loneliness that's caused by marginalization has remained for many years between him and America's critics, that they didn't even count him to any group that thrives with literaturic life not to mention he was independent except of himself; so he distend himself from any institutionalized or governmental representation and rather remained loyal to the proletariat oppressed class.

Not all is lost, as there are a few gems sprinkled in. Most of these occur later in the collection, where Bukowski turns an eye to self-reflection and his eventual death. I particularly liked “An Unkind Poem,” “What They Want,” “Soul,” “The Crunch,” and the surprisingly good “Bedpans.” We get some interesting and relatable results when his melancholia and cynicism and loneliness shine through, but these poems are very few and far between, having been lost in the unwieldy mass of the selfsame sexist chauvinism. quiet clean girls in gingham dresses all I ve ever known are whores, ex-prostitutes, madwomen. I see men with quiet, gentle women I see them in the supermarkets, I see them walking down the streets together, I see them in their apartments: people at peace, living together. I know that their peace is only partial, but there is peace, often hours and days of peace. all I ve ever known are pill freaks, alcoholics, whores, ex prostitutes, madwomen. when one leaves another arrives worse than her predecessor. I see so many men with quiet clean girls in gingham dresses girls with faces that are not wolverine or predatory. don t ever bring a whore around, I tell my few friends, I ll fall in love with her. you couldn t stand a good woman, Bukowski. I need a good woman. I need a good woman more than I need this typewriter, more than I need my automobile, more than I need Mozart; I need a good woman so badly that I can taste her in the air, I can feel her at my fingertips, I can see sidewalks built for her feet to walk upon, I can see pillows for her head, I can feel my waiting laughter, I can see her petting a cat, I can see her sleeping, I can see her slippers on the floor. I know that she exists but where is she upon this earth as the whores keep finding me? tonight your poems about the girls will still be around 50 years from now when the girls are gone, my editor phones me. dear editor: the girls appear to be gone already. I know what you mean but give me one truly alive woman tonight walking across the floor toward me and you can have all the poems the good ones the bad ones or any that I might write after this one. I know what you mean. do you know what I mean? alone with everybody the flesh covers the bone and they put a mind in there and sometimes a soul, and the women break vases against the walls and the men drink too much and nobody finds the one but they keep looking crawling in and out of beds. flesh covers the bone and the flesh searches for more than flesh. there s no chance at all: we are all trapped by a singular fate. nobody ever finds the one. the city dumps fill the junkyards fill the madhouses fill the hospitals fill the graveyards fill nothing else fills. Bukowski had his own technique in books that his poetics impacted his narratives that his novels seemed poetic deepened in good narration far from any trace of a plot, in return, novels, the dialogue mode, and the multi personality in poetic texts has given him another dimension even though that's not innovative in poetry but it was one of his poetic marks.The love Bukowski talks about is not tender. It's rough, dirty, vicious, often humiliating, sometimes cathartic. To all of you who know what it is like to be devoured by lust and purity; to the broken-hearted; to the bohemians and the idealists: I ve seen too many glazed-eyed bums sitting under a bridge drinking cheap wine you sit on the couch with me tonight new woman. have you seen the animal-eater documentaries? they show death. and now I wonder which animal of us will eat the other first physically and last spiritually? we consume animals and then one of us consumes the other, my love. meanwhile I d prefer you go first the first way since if past performance charts mean anything I ll surely go first the last way. me women don t know how to love, she told me. you know how to love but women just want to leech. I know this because I m a woman. hahaha, I laughed. so don t worry about your breakup with Susan because she ll just leech onto somebody else. we talked a while longer then I said goodbye hungup went into the crapper and took a good beershit mainly thinking, well, I m still alive and have the ability to expell wastes from my body. and poems. and as long as that s happening I have the ability to handle betrayal loneliness hangnail clap and the economic reports in the financial section. with that I stood up wiped flushed then thought: it s true: I know how to love. I pulled up my pants and walked into the other room. Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including Pulp (1994), Screams from the Balcony (1993), and The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992).

FOUR girls in pantyhose up your yellow river artists: I have shit stains in my underwear too Hawley s leaving town And talking about Stangenberg, “Love is a Dog from Hell” is a true triumph for her, as Khavn asked everything from her, and she delivered in the most impressive fashion. Apart from singing, dancing, and sawing pigs, Orphea also crawls in the mud, vomits, climbs trees, plays with kids in punk haircuts courtesy of Khavn, fakeplays a guitar, walks all over the place in her heels and red cape, and in general, does it all, in a truly hard-working performance that embodies the style of the whole production perfectly. a plate glass window junkies 99 to one the crunch a horse with greenblue eyes THREE Scarlet red up and down like a flower in the rain light brown
