description: This scholarly study provides an updated, corrected and comprehensive overview of the poet's book, chapbook and broadside publications from 1948 through 1998. The bibliography utilizes the methodology developed by Donald Gallup for his landmark bibliographies of T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. The full entries for over 150 primary items include title-page transcriptions, collations and full publishing histories. Charles Bukowski was the author of six novels and many books of stories and poems. In addition, he was the author of scores of obscure chapbooks and broadsides published by small presses. Many of these fugitive publications have never been properly documented and remain relatively unknown. This bibliography describes all of them in full detail for the first time.
