Description
An anthology from a New Orleans poet. In Graves during a Civil War, he writes: "There are many deaths, / And little ground. / Thus the graves must be narrow. / About as wide as cots. / But as deep as ever. / Though the ground be frozen / And the digging an agony / The graves / Should not also / Be shallow. / Their narrowness is indignity enough."

To his legions of fans, Charles Bukowski was--and remains--a counterculture icon.
