• Louis MacNeice ("MAC")
• Stephen Spender ("SP")
• Wystan Hugh Auden ("AU-N")
• Cecil Day-Lewis ("DAY")

The term was coined by Roy Campbell as a derogatory term, but eventually it became a value-neutral term to describe the work of these poets. The term is somewhat synonomous with the phrase "the New Poetry of the 1930".
