Read me Bakowski

While we're in the business of posting pictures, I thought I might post one of the cover of one of my favourite books!

Peter Bakowski's "In the human night" is one of the best reads the poetic soul will ever experience. It's comparable to music, or friendship, or flying. So beautiful, so heart-tugging, so captivating.

When I say captivating, I mean Bukowski's words capture the reader and lock him/her away in the cage of language.

To me, this book is what written poetry is. A world of words. A world of images. A world of beauty, and a world of pain that's so eloquently described that it seems beautiful, too.

I notice myself breathing and blinking when I read a poem from this book.
