About the book

Open All Night

Late-night dispatches, racetrack losses, and the stubborn click of an old typewriter.

These 189 posthumously published new poems take us deeper into the raw, wild vein of Bukowski's that extends from the early 1980s up to the time of his death in 1994.

Bukowski anchors these late verses in the coastal quiet of San Pedro, where an aging writer types through the night to the sound of classical radio.

Racetrack grandstands and crowded betting windows frame scenes of unsparing routine, from rundown coffee counters to midnight freeways. The poems follow an old observer taking note of bickering landlords, factory memories, and the persistent hum of southern California.

  • American Poetry: Dispatches from the track, where desperate regulars chase longshots and test elaborate betting formulas against indifferent odds.
  • Literary Collection: Wry encounters with loud Beat generation peers who drop by to argue over unrecognized talent and drink every cold beer in the refrigerator.
  • Against the Odds: Unsentimental glances at bruised figures from the margins, including an aging prizefighter who once beat champions before slipping into obscurity.
  • Poetry Collection: Everyday domestic absurdity that moves from an emergency trip to the vet for an injured alley cat to late-night arguments over broken door locks.
  • Also by This Author: You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense, Love is a Dog From Hell and The Last Night of the Earth Poems.
