Poetry isn't a subjective free for all that some make it out to be. There is the issue of timelessness. Every generation of poets seem to critique and hold under the light the classics. And many still stand. There are benchmarks.
If a poem, generation after generation causes people to be moved then it is worthy. If not then goodbye.
As far as 'renegade poets', I would side with an poetry establishment on this one. Advice: Take poetry courses at a repsected college. There is mountains to learn and presumably one or two geniuses a generation or one hundred years.
