Exeter
Exeter () is a city in Devon, South West England. It is situated on the River Exe, approximately northeast of Plymouth and southwest of Bristol.

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). The series was begun in 1962 and published an average of two volumes per year throughout the 1960s. Each volume was stated to be "an attempt to introduce contemporary poetry to the general reader". The series added up to a substantial survey of English-language poetry of the time. ''Penguin Modern Poets'' was the first venture on the part of Penguin Books to offer contemporary poetry. Although at the time, most poetry was published in expensive hardbound editions, ''Penguin Modern Poets'' offered the public samplers of modern verse in inexpensive paperbacks. No. 27, the last of the original series, appeared in 1979.Booth, Martin (1985). ''British Poetry 1964 to 1984: Driving Through the Barricades'', p. 64. Routledge. .
