I'm a poet and have never heard that stereotype before. I've studied with several incredible poets that began their careers in the age range you mentioned.
If you want to publish your book, get out there and do it!

They expect poets between 30 and 50 to put their poetry to music. That's not always a bad thing. Poetry books are not appreciated as much as music anymore.
