Customer Reviews

Classic Bukowski
This collection, along with Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame and The Roominhouse Madrigals is absolutely essential to anyone who loves Buk's poetry. I agree with the reader who loves "The Mockingbird," but there are others in this volume I like even better. "if we take" may be my favorite Bukowski poem ever. Another great one is "the world's greatest loser." And then, of course, there's "WWII." And the list could go on and on. There is just so much wonderful stuff here. . .

Bukowski rules in heaven and on earth.

very strong, angry poetry
Charles Bukowski is by sure one of my favorite poets. His work is vivid and very powerful. This book has my favorite poems by him, "Rain" and also "The Mockingbird"

One of Bukowski's Best
"Mockingbird Wish Me Luck" is Bukowski at the height of his powers. This title contains my favorite Bukwoski poem of all time, "The Mockingbird." This is an essential volume for all Bukowski lovers, and for any lover of modern poetry.
