He literally just poetically talked about taking a shit. Dude.

This man has got me through a lot of bad times. Thank you Hank!

One of rare Humans ever to live who knew what he was talking about.

"If eyes are windows to the soul, then tears are heavens rain."

"A good hot beer shit is glorious, man"

Everything he says is pure fucking poetry.

Say what you will. He was a true artist. Style.

"The writer has no responsibility", how true.! Heres's a little Buk to piss off the wannabe writer. “don’t be like so many writers, don’t be like so many thousands of people who call themselves writers, don’t be dull and boring and pretentious, don’t be consumed with self- love. the libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep over your kind. don’t add to that. C Bukowski

'A good poem is like a beer shit, you just do it.' - Bukowski

Bim ,Bim ,Bim

I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels the way I do about “classic” authors and poets.

I want that fucking duck lamp

"A big hot beer shit is glorious man, it's like a good poem" Charles Bukowski

Bukowski helps me to get through the horrors of life

I like how he turns his mispronunciation into poetry

I have to agree with Bukowski on this. Tolstoy is dull, dostoevsky on the other hand, is godly, his work is incredible, every line needs its own meaning and soul

"Nothing should ever be done that should be done."

Poetry...you just write. The words know where to go. Love this man!

His words never fail to resonate with me

He seen through all those boring pretentious poets and called it shit. I thought I was dumb for not liking it but now I see.

"Find What You Love And Let It Kill You" Charles Bukowski

Idk but his voice makes me to listen to it

The only man that can make me emotional about a hot beer shit

Charles Bukowski is the only person that can make taking shit sound so profoundly beautiful.

Charles brings peace in my soul

"waiting for their immortality"

When you're genuine everyone else is fake

Wow. Where u been all my life This man is off the hook

"Nothing should ever be done, that should be done - it has to come out. Like a good hot beer shit. A good hot beer shit is glorious man. You get up, you turn around, you look at it, you're proud - the fumes, the stink of the turd - you say god I did it, I'm good. Then you flush it away and there is the sense of sadness when just water is there. It's like writing a good poem - it's a beer shit - there is nothing to analyze or say - it's just done - got it?" - Bukowski beer shit quote

Hahaha this guy derives beauty from the most disgusting things.

I likes to hear him and intonation of his calm sweet voice is like nothing I ever heard... so sensitive ,so likeble!

Buk got me through some hard times in the '80s. I wrote and starved in a two-room apartment under a 100-year-old funeral home while the rats danced in the walls and the ceiling dripped into a plastic barrel. I wrote Buk a letter, but never mailed it. Too bad. He probably would've answered. Now it's too late.

Love honesty, he does not hold back, so blunt, I love it!

Don't completely agree with him but damn his style comes through his own poetry

God I love this man so much. Thanks CB. For EVERYTHING.

“Writing a poem is like beer shit” I love that analogy! It was totally unexpected too. What he’s going to say next is very unpredictable and that’s what I like about him. I’m just discovering this guy now at the age of 39! I’m looking forward to reading some of his work. I like that wasn’t afraid to say he doesn’t like some of the work that you’re supposed to like so that you can be accepted and thought of as intelligent. It’s almost as though you are not allowed to critique some work. I think many people pretend to like and understand Shakespeare and Tolstoy etc as to appear intellectual. You need to be honest and say what you think about books, movies, plays etc.

A good beer shit . Seems to sum it up perfectly and as well seem to do the poet an injustice . Affirmation and contradiction in the same phrase . Its magical and perfect . Love Bukowski.

"The dog walked down the street."

Thank goodness for Bukowski’s amazing work. He was a thinker who passed along his thoughts through poetry, prose, & novels.

Coming from a poet, he's so damn right, and he knew himself he was like it too just like us all! Absolute legend! May he rest in peace! ❤️

Best of the best! Thank you!

I like listening to his view. His poems have given me so much

I always enjoy listening to Charles Bukwoski he said what needed to be said....I just love it when he opens his mouth. Poetry is the only home for some authors and they need to hear this!

I wish this man was alive to see me shed tears to his words

Sir , Thank you for all that you have done for me in my life. You helped me build my perspective. And you have also encouraged me to continue learning English and using as many words as I can to expand my vernacular. Your words are great. Because you are your words.

Voice so smooth like a poetry, i so damn like it

Holy fuck I love this guy.

He loved his writing and his alcohol. Just like I love my weed and nature :-D

I love the honesty he doesnt mind shitting on anything he doesnt see the value or feeling in.

A singular character. Your life is your life. Your writing is your writing. Your thoughts is your thoughts. Bukowski!

This guy gets it. He just gets it.

If you ever owned an old car look up his poem eulogy. He could write about a beer can and connect it to your heart or your funny bone.

I love this youtube community here!!!!

He's amazing

Writing, Listening and culminating are poets refined art.

Our finest art!!

This is beyond good.

2:19 is amazing, wonderfully amazing.

This chap would have been a greater drinking partner

CHARLES BUKOWSKI'S SPIRIT SPEAKING In the gritty details, where souls collide, Beauty's an extraordinary beast to ride. Couldn't beat that truth, so I fought on, Wrestling with thoughts, tears streaming strong. I ground those tears, every damn notion, In the arena of my relentless devotion. Sought meaning, dug deep in my mind's dirt, Struggled through the trenches, not one to skirt. Yeah, it's the soul's nitty-gritty, the raw affair, That makes beauty shine, I swear and declare. In every scar, every gritty fragment I found, A damn extraordinary tale would resound. That universal truth, it had me pinned, But I brawled and bled, wouldn't let it win. Tears and thoughts, a cacophony in my head, Bukowski-style, I fought till they bled. So take those tears, let 'em soak the page, Unleash 'em, ignite the poet's raging rage. Embrace the details, don't shy from the brawl, For it's in the fight, we find beauty's call. Yeah, let this poem bear the Bukowski mark, With grit and truth, a poetic spark. In the trenches, amid the tears that flow, Discover extraordinary beauty, don't let it go. :: 06.02.2023 ::

Alan Watts relaxes me with words. Charles Bukowski shows me reality with words.

love this guy

"Forget what I have written and start anew" -bukowski. All the best teachers expect the student to start their own shit, their own way. No one can particularly teach you that....alright I'm drunk. Let me start too

Man...he blew my mind and changed my perspective on how to write a story. I will never flush a shit down the toilet the same way again. Changing lives, one shit story at a time. Thank you sir RIP

Best ASRM i found

Poetry is not poetry if you are trying to make it poetry. Poetry is simple, just being you, and saying what you really feel. It's not a show or about trying to impress people...the dog walked down the street, and a nice hot beer shit, that's poetry...simple human nature...SBN RESONATE

I love this guy. Writing a line is like taking a fuming hot beer shit? Awesome!

Talking about past masters - Solsjenitsin wrote something that reminded me of the service in norwegian infantry above the arctic circle - One Day In Ivan Devitovitsjes Life:))

poetry was is never pure, i mean real and He was one of the Greatest .

Best writer ever

The best video I’ve ever seen on this tube noob carrots. I get the beer shit quote man... it comes out cause there’s no other way it has to come out

Liberating truth. Beautiful beast

If they had poetry school like they had dodgeball school the buke would be the patches ohoulihan of his school

If I were in the industry I would make a movie about this legend.

Buk was so ahead of his time that he made a vlog rant even before YT was invented.

Bukowski is the BEST !!!!!

at first I thought he said bear shit.

I relate to this guy❣️

"A good hot beer shit is glorious" -Bukowski

This is why I love him. Most poets play into what they think they “ should be”. This guy didn’t give a f.

Bukowski. REAL.

He knew alot. Hats off

2:34 and then you flush it away and there's a sense of sadness

I watch this Every Night.

Oh what I wouldn't give to raise this man from the dead so that he could teach a Masterclass.

IS THAT A GOOSE???, Goose: peace was never an option

I convulsed on the floor in a seizure of laughter. It took me 10 minutes to recover. My stomach hurts (maybe this is a new core workout?). Am I watching Bukowski, Pryor, or just thankful someone has the nads to express how satisfying a good shit can be?

"Most carrots can't even write a simple line" can't disagree with the man on that

GOLD

In my mid 20s I was going through some of the sentiments as a reader expressed here by Buk. I read almost all of Buk during that time. I tried to head the heavier stuff, what Buk is criticising but I found that I wasn't able to concentrate. Years later I was diagnosed with a form of ADHD and PTSD that made it difficult to concentrate. With much effort I have got back into the heavier stuff now. You need to if you write. Buk might speak to you at an individual level in your darkest moment like he did to me but that Shakespeare, Spenser, Keats, Wordsworth, Coleridge, Wiltman, Eliot or Auden are not speaking to you is not because they are dead, it is because you have not been able to find what is magical in them. Buk writes lines that at times are so beautiful and so full of sadness that affects us personality and so his works resonate with our own sadness, and we love him. But his defence of the alive poet lighting up a stage is talking about an audience that only craves sonorous pleasure that comes from spoken word poetry. That poetry is usually limited to the brilliantly energetic performance. Like any other form of art, it takes perseverance to reach that moment when the complex is understood and a new magical realm is reached. Go to a library and read some of the great poets of the past, some of the great writers of the past. Essentially, they are writing about the same human condition. Just because they don't match your skin colour or accent or even nationality does not make them alien. There is enough in Tolstoy to make him the greatest Russian writer as there is in the more complex practitioners of poetry in English. Seek and he will come!

Thank you for not ruining this with horrible pop music.

"... even the flowers are trying harder."

His beer shit story is just straight facts lol

Why is he so beautiful to me? Gaahd!

Bukowski is my spirit animal.

I threw War And Peace away after I read it , so no one else would have to suffer through it .

please God let me take a good, hot beer shit

Treasure of an awakened heart

The sadness in flushing a shit down the toilet. Thats an insight and a half.

It's not him talking, it's his alcohol that's really doing all the work.
