1970-75 by John Ryan. In 2006, the Honorary Secretary of the Trinity College Dublin Association, Cambridge Branch, asked Rivers Carew to reminisce on his days with The Dublin Magazine at the Association's July meeting. He recalled how in the early 1960s a number of talented young poets then appearing on the scene were published by The Dublin Magazine such as Eavan Boland, Brendan Kennelly, Michael Longley and Derek Mahon who were all TCD graduates and went on to become highly regarded figures in the literary world. Some also had distinguished academic careers. Particularly noteworthy among the budding poets whose work appeared in the magazine was Seamus Heaney, the eventual Nobel Prize winner. Rivers Carew claimed that he and Timothy Brownlow wanted the magazine to be neither radical nor a staid organ of academe; its main purpose was to offer a platform for talented young writers, and the later achievements of the poets and others who were published show that it succeeded in that aim. The magazine was supported by the Irish Arts Council, by advertisers and members of the public "who had little or no reason to regret their interest or their generosity".
