@RoryWaterman Ah well. Sign up for a free trial? Too long to screengrab, it's a feature-length review.

@pb3166 Thanks! I'd missed that typo

Seamus Heaney won the Nobel Prize 30 years ago this month. Just 30 years before that, he published his first pamphlet (Eleven Poems, 1955). Are there any poets – at all – who began publishing in the *last* 30 years who now seem like plausible Nobel contenders?

[Tristram Fane Saunders @TATFS]

*TYPO: 1965, not 1955. (i.e. 30 years before the Nobel win, as per original tweet.)

[Tristram Fane Saunders @TATFS]

Tony Harrison.

@DanielC87173381 But not for this question, as long before the 30-year cut-off.

[Tristram Fane Saunders @TATFS]

@phillipcrymble Which is, alas, more than 30 years ago – so before the cut-off. Similarly, I'd narrowly have to rule out Claudia Rankine as, but her first book was 1994 (31 years ago).

So many important literary mags (& esp. poetry mags) have closed in the last two years: The Honest Ulsterman (est. 1968), Ambit (est.1959), Agenda (est.1959 – but hoping for a revivial), Popshot, The White Review, The Moth, Five Dials, Bad Form, The Cardiff Review...
