I found an interesting article by Jay Parini at the blog of Denise Low, an American poet who lives in Kansas.
The article appeared in The Chronical Review and discusses poetry and its importance thoughout the ages and in modern times.

Wow, wonderful article...love this especially..
It is the imagination pushing back against the pressure of reality.
If I may so comment, I feel that it matters because it is a creative outlet that frees the soul from the cages and chains of grammar.
