In terms of Buk I wouldn't make up periods depending on his work/writing-style.
I think in his case it makes sense to go for his biography/Life to make up periods. (this would roughly make 3: start till 1970 / 1970 till ca 1978/80 / From there to the end.)

The horizontal lines in the graph is approximately 100 views. I was getting around 40-45 a day before the Bukowski article. The day I put the article up and promoted the link on Twitter and Google+ the views went up to over 400 a day. A little more than 1800 people have clicked the link to the article so far.Nice y-axis label. [...] how many readers are we talking? I'm interested to see where this is going.

OK, this is what I was looking for. Forgive my scientific bent, but whenever a graph is posted to make a point, if the baseline (the x-axis, which is time/date in your graph) doesn't have a dependent variable (views, in this case), it destroys the point being made.The horizontal lines in the graph is approximately 100 views.

Love the graph. It's sooo academic. I now understand much more clearly what you're explaining.A lot of people are reading the article though.
I can't say for 100% certain but I doubt he planned out much of a plan throughout his life as to what "style" he was going to write from. He wrote about his everyday experiences. He wrote from his heart, he wrote from his gut. I go on record as saying he had no style, or periods, and gave very little thought to a plan. Remember, he wrote "don't try." Its on his grave stone for God's sake. Buk was all about just letting it happen. He would sit and wait. He would wait for the poem to write it self.
Inflation? Or, rather, shouldn't it be Euros or DM?
For some reason (I'll have to check the referrers) more than 1,000 people hit the article on Thursday. So it's still attracting attention.The day I put the article up and promoted the link on Twitter and Google+ the views went up to over 400 a day.
Now it's on the first page. #9, with a pretty picture of me, so the hit men can find me.It's on the second page of Google results for bukowski black sparrow now...
