This Charles Bukowski poem print features the unforgettable opening, “If you’re going to try, go all the way.” Taken from Bukowski’s poem commonly known as “Roll the Dice,” published in What Matters Most Is How Well You Walk Through the Fire, the passage is an uncompromising call to commit fully to the life, work, or dream that matters to you.
Bukowski’s words are not gentle motivation; they are about persistence when pursuing something meaningful becomes uncomfortable, lonely, or uncertain. The poem pushes past half-hearted effort and celebrates endurance, conviction, and the willingness to keep going when quitting would be easier. Presented in simple typewriter-style text, this literary wall art lets the force of the writing take centre stage and gives the piece a spare, understated character.
A powerful gift for writers, artists, entrepreneurs, graduates, creatives, or anyone pursuing an ambitious goal, this print makes a memorable reminder to commit wholeheartedly to the path you choose. It would suit a home office, studio, study, bedroom, writing space, or reading nook, and makes a thoughtful graduation, career change, new beginning, or encouragement gift. Available framed or unframed.
