Penguin Book of Contemporary British Poetry

The Penguin Book of Contemporary British Poetry was a poetry anthology edited by Blake Morrison and Andrew Motion, and published in 1982 by Penguin Books. The traditional claims made, and recognised as such in the Introduction, about a new British poet generation moving to take over the 'mainstream', were greeted in this case by more than the usual controversy. Poets in the Alvarez The New Poetry were excluded.
