Abstract

      The present study aims at shedding the light on Charles Bukowski's poem "Bluebird" through which Bukowski (1920-1994) manifests his aggression and disappointment of the modern age. The study examines the way Bukowski turns the sweet tender image of the bird into a lifeless voice penetrating under the tremendous impact of modern age changes and the absence social justice.
