Charles Bukowski\'s Poem \"My Old
Charles Bukowski's poem "My Old Man" relates to an account regarding an adolescent named Henry and his relationship with his abusive father. Henry is unable to connect with his father and he appears to convey his feelings through his poems. The boy does not want his father to become acquainted with the way that he thinks or with his poems and thus hesitates to present them to his ‘old man'.

While this might not seem particularly significant when considering their relationship, it is actually very important, taking into account that Henry realizes that this specific poem made it possible for his father to get a better understanding of him.
