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?

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

@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...

The Little Review – the pocket magazine for anyone interested in poetry – is now OPEN for submissions for Issue 2. Send in flinching, compromising poems & subjective, irresponsible criticism.
