Summary

Charles Bukowski examines cats and his childhood in You Get So Alone at Times, a book of poetry that reveals his tender side. The iconic tortured artist/everyman delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions. 
“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates 
“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter 
 
"well, that's just the way it is..." 
sometimes when everything seems at 
its worst 
when all conspires 
and gnaws 
and the hours, days, weeks 
years 
seem wasted-- 
stretched there upon my bed 
in the dark 
looking upward at the ceiling 
I get what many will consider an 
obnoxious thought: 
it's still nice to be 
Bukowski.
