State of Poetry?

I was reading the blog of Stephen Kuusisto today and I found this post. I think I understand what he means, what he intends to say, but I wonder about the overall approach. I think if there are any poets out there reading this they will want to take a look. The address is:

I'm inclined to disagree as a generalization, but, then again, I've heard a lot of poetry like this in the past couple of years. I have to admit that I like poetry that turns inward, brings in the "I", becomes personal and revelatory. Maybe just a personal preference.
