Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame is poetry full of gambling, drinking and women. Charles Bukowski writes realistically about the seedy underbelly of life.

Gathering his vital verse from the mid-sixties to the early seventies, this collection showcases Charles Bukowski's unfiltered, conversational style. Stripped of classic poetic embellishments, these pieces document the gritty, unpolished realities of urban margins, dive bars, and horse tracks with an observational, confident directness that influenced a generation of underground literature.
