Bukowski Charm: Trash Fire Poetry to Warm the Soul

by Ty Gardner, Shelly Gardner (Illustrator)

"...it hung, draped like a shawl over the shoulders of the city; a mood that couldn't be shrugged off. Ghosted and shadowed-streets rendered the place with an eerie air of unfamiliarity as we moved from one dive to the next, chasing figmented pleasantries..."

An anthological composition bearing the title of its poetic archetype, Bukowski Charm: Trash Fire Poetry to Warm the Soul taps into the essence of the prosetic and lyrically imaginative to flavor and texturize this colorful collection of poems.

With recurring themes in love, loss, the intimate pursuit of a spiritual self, and understanding how time and experience help guide our humanity, readers of Ty's works have come to enjoy an often deeply reflective tone at the heart of his poetry, encouraging them to ponder the bigness of the world around them through the wonderment of words.
