A timeless selection of some of Charles Bukowski’s best unpublished and uncollected poems
Charles Bukowski was a prolific writer who produced countless short stories, novels, and poems that have reached beyond their time and place to speak to generations of readers all over the world. Many of his poems remain little known since they appeared in small magazines but were never collected, and a large number of them have yet to be published.
In Storm for the Living and the Dead, Abel Debritto has curated a collection of rare and never- before-seen material—poems from obscure, hard-to-find magazines, as well as from libraries and private collections all over the country. In doing so, Debritto has captured the essence of Bukowski’s inimitable poetic style—tough and hilarious but ringing with humanity. Storm for the Living and the Dead is a gift for any devotee of the Dirty Old Man of American letters. Views: 276

A visionary novel from Doris Lessing, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature.
It is sooner than you might think. And the Earth’s climate is much changed – it’s colder than ever before in the north, and unbearably dry and hot in the south. Mara, who is seven, and her four-year-old brother Dann find themselves somewhere very strange, not home …
They are taken in by a kindly, grandmotherly woman, but this new life is hard: hunger, dirt, thirst and danger are the children’s constant companions. Drought and fire carry off their adoptive home and force them to set off northward into the unknown, to experience a series of adventures that bring them to an altogether altered world, where they can start to learn and build anew.
Doris Lessing has written a compelling, troubling and entertaining novel that, through the remarkable odyssey of a brother and sister living in the imagined future, manages to tell us a great deal about the present we perceive only dimly and scarcely know how to value. Views: 276

Or did it ever exist?Mark: What if we're already dead?Cody: I think we would have noticed by now.Sometimes I dream that I'm in a dark room, and it's like nothing's there in the dark at all. There's no sky, no stars, no grass or carpet or anything else. I think, therefore I am. I think, therefore I am, damn it. I'm in a void, and all my words are silent.The world is silence, and nothing makes sense. My blood is 90 proof. I could bottle it and sell it if there were still liquor stores or grocery stores or even a gas station shining in the dark, flickering lights buzzing cold and florescent over a parked car. And then I'm there, I'm there, and it's so bright it hurts. The cooler's got shelves and shelves of 90 proof boy blood, and there's a car at the end of the row of gas pumps with the horn blaring, echoing into the night. The trunk is crumpled up into the back, and the front bumper is buried in the pole by the pump.Go look, I tell myself. I dream in the present tense, because I live in the past. I don't ever look in the car, though, because I already know what's going on. Views: 275
