Penguin Modern Poets

Penguin Modern Poets was a series of 27 poetry books published by Penguin Books in the 1960s and 1970s, each containing work by three contemporary poets (mostly but not exclusively British and American). It added up to a substantial survey of English-language poetry of the time.
A second Penguin Modern Poets series, of at least thirteen volumes on the same pattern, was launched in the 1990s.
