I always thought old age would be a writer's best chance.... Now my memory's gone, all the old fluency's disappeared. I don't write a single sentence without saying to myself, "It's a lie!" So I know I was right. It's the best chance I ever had.
~ Samuel Beckett
All my friends who are older poets feel the same, I would guess.
Terence Winch is writing better than ever, in his sad Irish way, when even a funny poem of his makes you realize how tragic life is.
He's not the only one.
