Henry Charles Bukowski költő, író.

Otthona az amerikai Los Angeles volt, melynek földrajzi adottságai és atmoszférája erősen befolyásolta Bukowski munkásságát. Stílusa nagy hatással volt kortársaira, akik gyakran utánozták azt. Ő maga termékeny író volt, több ezer költeményt, több száz novellát és hat regényt jegyez; több mint ötven könyve jelent meg nyomtatásban. Rendszeresen emlegetik a skid row koszorús költőjeként.
