... not the most thrilling news in the world, I know.
Sometimes, out of boredom, I click through plagiarist.com and other poetry-sites. They have a top-50-ranking there and sometimes, out of boredom, I click and get informed which poems are the most read on this/these page(s).
Most of the time Sylvia Plath or Robert Frost ... etc.
B. never got in there and I always thought, yes, he is still "underground" (whatever that means)
So, five minuts ago I clicked on the ranking and, guess what:
Nr. 1 (218959 views), one Charles Bukowski with "Who In The Hell Is Tom Jones"
Also Nr. 41 with "Bluebird" and
Nr. 48 with "Alone With Everybody"
see here:

Beaten all the Plaths and Frosts and Emily Dickinsons to hell. I wonder how that happened. Do you think it is because of Factotum, the movie? Or the recent newspaper-articles about the bungalow-to-be-sold? Or doesn't it have any meaning at all?
