Good point, Tim.
And, yes, most experimental poetry would be ruled out if literature was defined too restrictively.

I would like to know what that definition is because I have a suspicion it would rule out all kinds of stuff that most of us, on the experimental side of things, have come to regard as within the remit of poetry etc.
