The Continual Condition is a collection of never-before-published poems by the inimitable Bukowski--raw, tough, odes to alcohol, women, work, and despair by a rebel author equally adept at poetry and prose. Charles Bukowski lives on in The Continual Condition, a godsend for admirers of his previous collections Slouching Toward Nirvana, The Pleasures of the Damned, and Love is a Dog From Hell, as well as his novels Factotum, Ham on Rye, and Pulp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis final collection delivers the raw, uncut Bukowski experience: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDirty Realism: \u003c\/b\u003e Unflinching poems that find the profound in the profane--from racetrack bars and dead-end jobs to the strange, savage beauty of a city that never sleeps.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eThe Barfly Poet Laureate: \u003c\/b\u003e Searing, personal odes to alcohol, women, and the Sisyphean struggle of the artist, all told with Bukowski's signature blend of weary cynicism and dark humor.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eUnpublished Works: \u003c\/b\u003e A treasure trove for longtime fans and new readers alike, featuring poems written in his final years that have never before seen the light of day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCounterculture Voice: \u003c\/b\u003e The raw, unapologetic spirit that made him an icon, cutting through the noise with brutal honesty and a middle finger to convention.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the literary pantheon, Charles Bukowski remains a counterculture luminary.
