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.)
