Today in 1955 Allen Ginsberg read his generation-defining poem "Howl" in public for the first time. It’s hard to imagine a poem having the same widespread impact today. Is poetry irrelevant to the best minds of our generation?

Every art form has its relevance, and poetry is art as much as the paleolithic cave paintings are.  The question I have is: Whose generation is "ours"?
