Originally published by Black Sparrow Press under the editorship of John Martin, Bukowski's trusted friend and editor, these collections of letters first appeared as three volumes: Screams from the Balcony: Selected Letters 1960-1970, Living on Luck: Selected Letters 1960s- 1970s and Reach for the Sun: Selected Letters 1978-1994.
I wrote letters to many in those days ...it was rather my way of screaming from my cage.' The 1960's saw Charles Bukowski struggle for recognition and slowly emerge as a unique, talented and prolific poet and writer, whilst holding down a day job at the Post Office. In Selected Letters: Volume 2 we see Bukowski becoming accustomed to his career as a professional writer. These letters to various friends, lovers and literary contacts provide an intimate and fascinating look at Bukowski's mind, his emotions, his attitude towards his own creativity and the comings and goings of his daily life.

"'Bukowski carved out a unique position in American letters. He was a cult figure who disdained movements and followers, a working-class autodidact who dared to take himself seriously as a writer but who couldn't stop mocking himself as a subject.'
