Oh, to be 22 again and drunk all summer long...memories are made of this. And still I have tender feelings towards Bukowski. (

Containing easily Bukowski's greatest horse race poem, "Horsemeat", War All The Time stands out in Bukowski's poetic constellation. The rest of the book is above-average and goes down nicely with Love Is A Dog From Hell and Last Night Of The Earth Poems. I would highly recommend this book for those new to Bukowski and those looking for the better part of his material. (
