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.
