PART I
THE BELIEVER: You’ve been in the poetry and publishing worlds for some thirty years now. What changes have you seen in that time?
KEVIN YOUNG: I think poetry itself has broadened and deepened. What I see, having edited The New Yorker anthology, is the way that poetry really, in the past forty years, has exploded in terms of who’s publishing and who’s able to publish and the outlets for publishing. At the same time, it once felt like there was a different kind of robust, smaller-press life, and you had these different outlets and magazines, some of which I miss. But in general, I think there are a lot of people writing who were always writing, but who are now getting published more.
Doctor Who spinoff The War Between the Land and the Sea will simultaneously hit BBC One and BBC iPlayer at 8:30 pm on December 7th.
