ask her to describe her feelings when someone says only the bad poets live the poem, and the good poets, can only write them

Most good literature isn't "outdated", look at Catcher In The Rye that was published in 51 and its still very popular and relevant, and Animal Farm was published in '45 its still great. And all of Stephen King's stuff is still good as hell and he started in 74.
A lot of modern literature sucks, its mostly filled with sex (eroticism in books = pointless) and trendy pop culture crap, I doubt most authors today will be remembered for a long time unlike Shakespeare and Mark Twain.
And that poet question is also pretty stupid, you're a bad poet because you've dealt with what you write about? According to that logic, a 13 year old writing about cutting but never laid a knife to his wrist is better then a poem Emily Di
ckinson writing about nature.
Your questions suck.
