- Previously uncollected, unknown and some unpublished essays, short stories, interviews, and introductors to other writers. All dealing with the subject of writing and literature from Bukowski's point of view and selected from throughout his career.
- This book uniquely introduces the theme of writing itself, so important to both Bukowski's fiction and poetry, direct from Bukowski's eyes, revealing how he developed his voice.
- The Mathematics of the Breath and the Way is different from Ecco's recent Bukowksi book On Writing (which contains only letters), because it explores the concept of writing through Bukowski's short stories, essays, interviews, and introductions to other writer's work, thus giving a more well-rounded approach to the subject.
- Includes Bukowski's introductions to several poets whose work he admired such as Steve Richmond, Al Masarik, John William Corrington, and the Canadian poets Al Purdy and Irving Layton.
