I like Tim's post: it makes good sense to me.
"But doesn't experimental poetry say what poetry should be, rather than what it already is? Already then, we have the ghost of a 'better' nature"
There is the ghost of 'better' in 'experimental', but that is it. It may haunt experimental poetry, but often this haunting isn't based on anything more than an unfulfilled ambition (to be better). Sorry to extend your metaphor Luke.
Cheers,
Tristan
