Charles Bukowski published more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including the novels Factotum, Women, Hollywood, Ham on Rye, and the screenplay Barfly.   His books have been translated into more than a dozen languages, and his worldwide popularity has increased since his death in 1994.

                                             “the way to create art is to burn and destroy

                                               ordinary concepts and to substitute them

                                                              with new truths that run down from the top of the head  

                      and out from the heart.”—Charles Bukowski
