I don't think what you are saying is true at all. There is a plenty of contemporary poetry that reflects contemporary events, or at least the writer's responses to it. It just so happens that there is that much more poetry being published today, and 90% of art at any time has been about the artist's ego, an utterly boring affair.
That said, reading Keats you'd have no idea that there was such a thing as a French Revolution. I didn't say it, a famous critic did.
