Poetry recommendations

[Todd]

Try Nick Flynn's collection Some Ether. He's not exactly like Bukowski but his style has some similarities

The problem with trying to find someone like Bukowski is even if some of the work of other people's work is similar to his, it will be uneven. So let's try some individual poems (they should all be on the internet or maybe even this site.

Sharon Olds: Sex Without Love
Kim Addonizzo: Chicken
Marge Piercy: Joy Road and Livernois
Nick Flynn: Cartoon Physics Part 1
Nick Flynn: Cartoon Physics Part 2
Mark Strand: Moontan
Louise Gluck: Gretel in Darkness
Carolyn Forche: Selective Service
Stephen Dobbins: How to Like It
