April vs. Bukowski

April vs. Bukowski is a battle as a tribute to one of April's favorite and most influential authors, Charles Bukowski. It is a collection of poetic observations and laments concerning their favorite subjects; love, sex, rejection, subsequent misery, and the human condition. She shares her most personal tragedies with biting wit and so-sarcastically-it-hurts but, without forsaking utmost emotional vulnerability and brazen honesty.

First-time heavyweight author, April Padilla Maestas challenges veteran Charles Bukowski, the defending champion of sexual sarcasm and tear spasms in a battle for the title of most candid and irreverent eloquence: Pains Penslinger! Who will reign? You have to read to find out!

April is an American author, poet, song and playwright of Mestizo-Comanche descent. She was born in Denver, CO where she currently resides.
