One day, crundle 
For me, now and always, the pleasure I take in poetry is not derived from how "modern" it is, but how well I connect with it. How it sounds. The way it makes me look at the world in a different way. The condensed essence of humanity.
(Besides, we're well past the "modern" now. Even past the post-modern. And the post-post-modern. We've run out of posts. Modern is pretty damned old these days.)
