The question isn't mass appeal, since poetry does not now and is unlikely in the future to have mass appeal. But if Eratosphere exists in the future, or something very much like it, what post-1945 poets will we still be crowing about in 2045?
(Aside to Ross, who I hope will not want to debate the point, but for the record, I think Bob Dylan is a great singer. But really, no point in arguing. You won't change my mind, and I have no desire to try to change yours).
