Summary
What other contemporary poet has posthumously published as much as Bukowski? This is his eighth postmortem collection. Three of the eight contain poems cherry-picked from his earlier collections by Bukowski. Said to be the fourth of five books of previously unpublished poems, Come On In! is the fifth (of the eight) bearing the subtitle New Poems. Did Buk set up one of the New Poems pre-demise? Whatever. This book includes the wonderful the 'Beats,' which Paul Muldoon selected for The Best American Poetry, 2005, and a righteously withering portrait of another, much more socially successful writing contemporary of Buk's in nothing but a scarf (could the figure in question be the subject of a brand-new hit movie?). One of the four parts is full of sad, hilarious lamentation and schadenfreude anent the man-woman thing; longest means best here: the faithful wife, down and out on the boardwalk, and, especially, sex sister. As usual, not for the kiddies. But for the adults, god, yes. --Booklist.
