He loved classical music, booze, gambling, and classical music. He was a violent beast of a human being, and he was the greatest American poet to every puke in a baby grand piano.
He spent part of his life homeless. But when he made it, he made it big, especially in Europe and around the world. He was unique in the sense that he didn't teach at a university, he was disliked by some academics, but he made a fine living writing poetry, which very few Americans do.
He also wrote the movie Barfly, starring Mickey Rourke and Faye Dunaway.
"I hate people."
"Well I don't know about that. But sometimes I feel better when they're not around."
Something like that. He wrote other lines in his poetry, like, and I'm paraphrasing here: There's shit and death everywhere. Something like that.
