Poetry is a populist art-form that has diminished in the modern era. I'm talking poetry for the sake of it, no rock star, indie-film-maker mutations, poets.
The last I can think of would be Leonard Cohen, but I doubt there is a poet today that gets the international-jetset treatment like Cohen did. Any thoughts?
NOTE: Not sure how the whole 'spoken word' thing fits in, and whether that is Poetry or avant-stand-up?
