Oluja za žive i mrtve
Oluja za žive i mrtve – Charles Bukowski
Oluja za žive i mrtve je najnovija posthumna zbirka pjesama Charlesa Bukowskoga (1920 − 1994), legendarnog američkog pjesnika i prozaika, koji, evo, i dvadesetak godina nakon svoje smrti ostaje podjednako plodan, intrigantan i čitan. I to ponajprije zahvaljujući svojoj golemoj radnoj energiji kojom je za života praktički svakodnevno ispisivao svoj egzistencijalni poetski dnevnik, koji se u konačnici može iščitati kao velika oda slobodi ljudskoga duha.
Oluja za žive i mrtve po mnogočemu je posebna knjiga. Nakon mnogo godina, ona napokon na svjetlo dana iznosi krajnje rijedak i dosad neviđen pjesnički materijal koji je stjecajem okolnosti ostao rasut među odavno ugašenim i raritetnim „podzemnim“ časopisima i publikacijama, kao i među pamfletskim izdanjima i privatnim zbirkama. Dugogodišnjim istraživačkim radom na jednom mjestu ga je okupio urednik Abel Debritto, skrećući nam tako još jednom pažnju na neponovljivi, vitalni i razbarušeni pjesnički genij Charlesa Bukowskoga, koji čak i u svojim najtvrdokornijim i najhilaričnijim izdanjima i pored najbolje volje ne uspijeva iznevjeriti svoju duboko usađenu humanu i empatičnu komponentu.
Oluja za žive i mrtve pravi je mali dar svakom pokloniku lika i djela neponovljivog Starog pokvarenjaka suvremene američke književnosti.

About the author
Charles Bukowski
893 books30.6k followersHenry Charles Bukowski (born as Heinrich Karl Bukowski) was a German-born American poet, novelist and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.It is marked by an emphasis on the ordinary lives of poor Americans, the act of writing, alcohol, relationships with women and the drudgery of work. Bukowski wrote thousands of poems, hundreds of short stories and six novels, eventually publishing over sixty books
Charles Bukowski was the only child of an American soldier and a German mother. At the age of three, he came with his family to the United States and grew up in Los Angeles. He attended Los Angeles City College from 1939 to 1941, then left school and moved to New York City to become a writer. His lack of publishing success at this time caused him to give up writing in 1946 and spurred a ten-year stint of heavy drinking. After he developed a bleeding ulcer, he decided to take up writing again. He worked a wide range of jobs to support his writing, including dishwasher, truck driver and loader, mail carrier, guard, gas station attendant, stock boy, warehouse worker, shipping clerk, post office clerk, parking lot attendant, Red Cross orderly, and elevator operator. He also worked in a dog biscuit factory, a slaughterhouse, a cake and cookie factory, and he hung posters in New York City subways.
Bukowski published his first story when he was twenty-four and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. His first book of poetry was published in 1959; he went on to publish more than forty-five books of poetry and prose, including Pulp (1994), Screams from the Balcony (1993), and The Last Night of the Earth Poems (1992).
He died of leukemia in San Pedro on March 9, 1994.

Ova knjiga je samo još jedan podsjetnik koliko je lik C. Bukowskog zapravo velik ❤️

Moj prvi susret s Bukowskim je službeno iza mene! Privela sam kraju Oluju za žive i mrtve i iskreno… dojam je okej, ali mislim da sam napravila malu grešku s izborom prve knjige. 😅
Budući da je riječ o zbirci neobjavljenih i neuvrštenih pjesama, dobila sam onaj njegov prepoznatljivi, sirovi i direktni stil, ali imam osjećaj da bi mi doživljaj bio puno bolji da sam prvo posegnula za nekim njegovim romanom. Unatoč tome, bilo je nekoliko pjesama koje su mi se svidjele i podsjetile zašto ga toliko ljudi obožava ili mrzi sredine kod njega nema.
Ocjena: 3 / 5

My first encounter with Bukowski is officially behind me! I finished Storm for the Living and the Dead and honestly… the impression is okay, but I think I made a small mistake with the choice of the first book. 😅
Since it is a collection of unpublished and unlisted poems, I got his recognizable, raw and direct style, but I have a feeling that my experience would have been much better if I had reached for one of his novels first. Despite that, there were a few poems that I liked and reminded me why so many people love or hate him, there is no middle ground with him.
