The Birth of Bukowski Cats

While Charles Bukowski had no direct affiliation with this movement, his writings served as the catalyst for the birth of Bukowski Cats. The poets involved wanted to pay tribute to his literary legacy by developing their own unique style – a style that harnesses the raw emotions and unfiltered observations of Bukowski while infusing it with the mysterious aura that epitomizes cats.

Raw Underground Poetry: Unveiling the Heart and Soul

The core philosophy of Bukowski Cats revolves around the belief that poetry is not meant to be polished, artificial, or confined by academic conventions. Instead, it should flow from the depths of one's being, exposing vulnerabilities and shedding light on the charming imperfections of life.

Bukowski Cats' raw underground poetry strips away the layers of pretense and societal expectations, daring to confront taboos and unexplored emotions. It brings to the forefront the bitter realities of lost love, addiction, loneliness, and the mundane struggles of everyday life. Through their unapologetic verses, Bukowski Cats paint a vivid picture of the dark corners of existence, inspiring readers to confront their own demons and embark on a journey of self-discovery.

The Feline Perspective: A Meow-tiful Twist

What sets Bukowski Cats' poetry apart from other underground movements is the incorporation of the feline perspective. Cats have long been associated with enigmatic qualities – their independence, their ability to command attention effortlessly, and their keen sense of observation. Bukowski Cats ingeniously infuses these qualities into their poetry, offering readers a fresh perspective on life through the eyes of a feline.

The feline twist adds a layer of intrigue and mystique to the rawness of the verses. It sparks curiosity and invites contemplation as readers navigate the intricate labyrinth of emotions, guided by the wisdom of cats.

SAMPLE POEMS:

"YOU HAD ME AT "MEOW"

You had me at "meow," my friend.

You had me with three sleepy blinks,

with the tender flick of your tail,

the purr in your throat.

You had me with all these things:

treasured moments

curling in my lap.

"MOVING DAY"

As the cat purrs in my lap,

as Mozart pours from my speakers,

I drink this wine

and write these words,

feeling the first relief I've known in days.

The heaviness leaves me,

the hurt you caused becoming less

as you move from my present into my past...

never to return.

FROM THE :

It should come as no surprise when I say my best friends are cats. They are me, and I am them. We both love our routines and hate anything that disturbs them. We do what we want, when we want. We're happy being alone, but happy to be together when it suits us. We're loyal. We love deeply, trust deeply, and when that love and trust is broken, we slink away to lick our wounds.

We'll never fit in, even when we try. Especially when we try. And so we stop trying to fit in and start trying to be ourselves.

Because we can be nothing else.
