Put another way: 1922-1923 were the years of
The Waste Land,
Harmonium,
Spring & All,
Ulysses. That's only 38 / 27 years before
The New American Poetry (1960). We are 49 years beyond that. Ginsberg and Williams might seem almost equally distant in time to an 18-year old today.
I was born in '82, so Jimmy Carter seems as distant as Chester Arthur, almost.
