Can Poetry Matter? by Dana Gioia on The Atlantic's Poetry Pages web site and the followup article.

(What do you think about poetry's place in our time? I think Maya Angelou's popularity, Robert Pinsky's Favorite Poem Project, and Border Voices Poetry Project in San Diego Schools, among many other examples, are proving Mr. Gioia wrong. Poetry is alive and well among the people.)
On the importance of memory in the quest for identity, whether national or individual - see Robert Pinsky's two-part essay "Poetry and American Memory" on The Atlantic's Poetry Pages web site
