Charles Bukowski (1920-1994) was an American writer and poet known for his gritty, raw, and often autobiographical writing style. Bukowski's work is characterized by his exploration of the underbelly of society, his use of profanity, and his unflinching portrayal of the darker aspects of life. He is considered one of the most influential writers of the 20th century and his work continues to inspire readers and writers today.
"So you want to be a writer?" is one of Bukowski's most famous poems and a powerful commentary on the challenges and realities of the writing life. The poem is a blunt and uncompromising examination of the sacrifices, hard work, and dedication required to succeed as a writer. Bukowski also offers a message of hope to those who are willing to put in the work and persevere. The poem is a rallying cry for writers to stay true to their calling and to keep writing, no matter what obstacles they may face.
