I wish my role was as broad as that, I'm afriad I'll never be a Falsetto.

Disposition changes perception.

well as you are sure in your right to take me as metaphorically as possible. that's all you.

but literally speaking,
there hasn't been a notable poet (HELL, even a writer!) in the last 10-20 years.

i think you should stop depending on basic/classic quotes to answer a question.

I want Your idea and opinion on the subject.
(aka. something a little less contrived)

ludicous statement. what about stan rice, i could name at least another ten fro the last decade alone. as for writers i could name you twenty and more. do some research just because you havent heard of a writer or poet doesn't mean they arent out there.

open mic poets who are excellent not onlt at writing but orating run into the hundreds.

btw, shouldnt it be modernism in poetry?

poetry is more popular now than it's ever been. we have more decent authors per million people than ever before and many of them are damn good. people such as ron silliman and a lot of his contempories.

sadly we have more non experienced poets as well but thats all good because it's from those that the good ones emerge.

i forgot to mention maya angelou but that said she's not one of my favorites.
wh auden. arguably the most famous poet of the twentieth century is only a decade or so outside your 20 year time frame.
robert bly embrace the time frame

and some of the best modern haiku writers are barely out of their training pants.
