Charles Bukowski - American author
... 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"

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?
