Charles Bukowski was a born in Germany but moved to U.S.A at the age of 2. Charles struggled his whole life trying to write his poetry and publish them. His lack of publishing success caused him to give up writing in 1946. That's when his heavy drinking began. He struggled from job to job; and eventually succeeded. His first book of poetry was published in 1959. He published over 40 books.
Even though Charles brought out the machismo in his writing it was very powerful and true. He is an example of free writer, writing without being scared of what people would say or think about him.
Questions I would ask Charles Bukowski:
1. Was your dad a drinker? if he was, is that the reason you began too? If not, then why did you begin?
2. Did any of your parents support you in the career you chose?
3. Not depending on the poems you have written about women, did you ever fall in love? If yes, who and did she affect your writing? If not, how did that affect your writing?
