Poets don’t retire

In February CK Stead, born in 1932, published The Yellow Buoy: Poems 2007–2012 (AUP).

On 5 May Peter Bland, born in 1934, will launch his new poetry collection, Breath Dances (Steele Roberts).

On 18 July Kevin Ireland, born on 18 July 1933, will launch his Collected Poems (Steele Roberts). Not a bad 80th birthday present.

UPDATE

And then there were four: a reader advises in the comments that Fleur Adcock (born 1934) has a new poetry collection, Glass Wings, due about now from VUP
