Getting to Know Charles Bukowski

Jennifer Makowsky never really read or knew much about Charles Bukowski “apart from the poems [she] read in school and his reputation as the hardened “dirty old man.”  She felt that the time had come to learn more about the “The Poet Laureate of Skid Row.”
To begin her descent into Bukland she takes to the screen to watch John Dullaghan’s 2003 documentary, Bukowski: Born Into This.

Her review, “Bukowski: What Lies Beneath,” appears over at Pop Matters. 

Here is the trailer for the film:
