Love is a Dog From Hell Review: Even better than expected - I have read a bunch of his books and loved most of them. This one is excellent. It took me by surprise how good it is. Bukowski is only for people who possess the ability to think critically and understand the diversity of human nature. To enjoy his poetry, you must be able to look into the darkness and recognize your own darkness, without judging his. If you are in the habit of judging art by your personal opinions of the artist themselves, then do yourself a favor and skip Bukowski. But if you can accept the worst parts of yourself without succumbing to those things, then you will love his work. Review: Exactly what I wanted - No damage, great book, good quality pages ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #13,355 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #5 in Poetic Erotica #7 in Poetry Anthologies (Books) #530 in Classic Literature & Fiction | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (2,297) | | Dimensions | 5.88 x 0.78 x 8.94 inches | | Edition | Ecco ed. | | ISBN-10 | 0876853629 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0876853627 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 312 pages | | Publication date | May 31, 2002 | | Publisher | Ecco | ## Images ![Love is a Dog From Hell - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bqT9pZ5SL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Even better than expected *by A***R on February 9, 2026* I have read a bunch of his books and loved most of them.

"Love Is a Dog From Hell" collects his works from the mid-1970s (1974-1977). Bukowski was in his fifties and fairly successful as a writer by this point. The poems often center on his problematic relationships with women, whom he usually treats as sex objects. His views on women are clueless and offensive but capture what so many men (especially of his generation) seem to think. His greatest insights are usually in some of his crudest and most off-putting poems. Other poems concern his writing process, what he sees in his seedy L.A. neighborhood, and his drinking. The humor in his poems sometimes stems from a "I can't believe he wrote that" sense of disbelief, but much of the time it comes from seeing such a flawed man bare his soul and write so fearlessly. He's a depressive sad sack who drives away women with his outrageous behavior ("I had resigned myself to dying alone in a small room"). Yes, some of his work is no more than simple potty humor, but at times, his lines are quite wise (e.g., "there is always one woman to save you from another"). I strongly suggest that the prospective reader sample a few of his poems before purchasing a full collection. Also, I found it most effective to read in relatively small dribs and drabs. Too many of the poems in one sitting was a bit stultifying. This review is of the Kindle version. The text is formatted well and was very easy to read; I did not find any obvious errors. On the Kindle Fire, the Table of Contents includes a link to each poem, so you can immediately skip to your favorites. ## Frequently Bought Together - Love is a Dog From Hell - You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense - The Last Night of the Earth Poems --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1564305-love-is-a-dog-from-hell](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/1564305-love-is-a-dog-from-hell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
