Modern Poetry Article

I enjoyed this recent Slate article on modern poetry from Robert Pinsky. He's kind of a dick at certain points, but I think in a somewhat enjoyable way if you're a writer. Most of his responses end up just being lots of poems used as examples, some of which I thought were very good and many which I had not seen before. I certainly agree with one of his underlying themes: "Art, and particularly poetry, doesn't have to be old to be good."
