There will always be someone willing to push the envelope of possible communication in the name of art; the problem of course is those who push the envelope so hard it breaks and collapses! :>) In these boundary regions where new forms are being tried, there are no precedent standards of what works and what does not. If you take such an effort and try to force it into cognitive frames developed in earlier media, you lose the opportunity of exploration; it is something like trying to make an ee cummings poem meet the standards of Dr Seuss and rejecting it if it does not.

That said, I don't have a lot of time for experimenters who are so self-absorbed that they give no study to what communicates and what does not; to my mind the sole purpose of any form of art is to communicate. Otherwise it becomes dabbling and daubing as a way of dramatization of self, which is really not very interesting.

One of the abuses of poetry, as of any other form of art, is the use of it as a means of self-dramatization without any intent to communicate. Check!
