Hope it's not too gauche to take a stab at answering my own question re: contemporary poetry's animating concerns (division norteamericano):
1) Plumed troops and the Big War.
2) "Do you believe that poetry can create [political] change in the world?"
3) The Lyric after L=A=N=G=U=A=G=E: Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Sometimes Use the 'I'.
4) Crisis of Overproduction
"Too many ___________." (insert: poets/M.F.A. programs/blogs/grad students/small press publishers/books.)
"Too few ____________." (insert: readers/reviewers/buyers/hours to read/good books.)
5) www.blogspot.com.
(or: Amazon, Lulu, PayPal)
(or: email, Penn Sound, flarf)
6) Weird rumblings of god stuff.
7) Standard rumblings of marx stuff.
8) Plumed troops and the Big War.
THIS JUST IN:
9) Squid.
