Charles Bukowski, full name Henry Charles Bukowski, Jr., was an American author best known for his use of graphic language and imagery in poetry and fiction that depicts surviving in a corrupt, depraved society. He was born in Andernach, Germany, on August 16, 1920, and passed away in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994.

The majority of Bukowski's life was spent in Los Angeles. He labored at menial jobs while composing short stories, the first of which were published in the middle of the 1940s. He briefly attended Los Angeles City College (1939–1941). After giving up writing for ten years and living the life of a homeless, drunken nomad around the country, he returned to Los Angeles and started publishing poems in 1955.

His first collection of poems, "Flower, Fist and Bestial Wail," debuted in 1959, and volumes continued to be published virtually yearly by underground small presses. Bukowski had a devoted following by the time he published "It Catches My Heart in Its Hands" in 1963, a book of poetry about alcoholics, losers at gambling, and down-and-out individuals.

Many later poetry books are noteworthy, such as "Mockingbird Wish Me Luck" (1972), "Love Is a Dog from Hell" (1977), "War All the Time" (1984), and "You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense" (1986).

Although he had started out as one of the top "cult authors," by the time of his passing, he was one of the most well-known American writers and had become a recognized member of the canon of 20th-century literature. A number of collections of Bukowski's previously unpublished poetry were released after he passed away, such as "Slouching Toward Nirvana" (2005) and "The People Look Like Flowers At Last."(2007). Bukowski was such a prolific writer that his output outstripped his own life expectancy .

The short stories and books by Charles Bukowski are brutally realistic and frequently humorous. They frequently watch Henry Chinaski, unskilled worker, classical music fan, and horse-bettor who serves as Bukowski's alter ego.

His stories include "Notes of a Dirty Old Man" (1969), "Erections, Ejaculations, Exhibitions, and General Tales of Ordinary Madness" (1972), and "Hot Water Music." (1983). All three were adapted from his underground newspaper column. "Post Office" (1971), "Factotum" (1975), and "Ham on Rye" (1982) are some of his later novels.

A prominent underground author, Charles Bukowski used his poetry and prose to portray the squalor of urban life and the oppressed in American society. Bukowski, a cult icon who wrote with blunt language drew on his experience, emotions, and imagination in his works.
