When was Oxford Book of Contemporary Verse created?

There isn't a single definitive "Oxford Book of Contemporary Verse". The Oxford University Press has published several anthologies of contemporary poetry with varying titles and publication dates.

To give you the most helpful answer, could you please tell me:

* What is the exact title of the anthology you are interested in? For example, "The Oxford Book of Modern Verse" or "The Oxford Book of Twentieth-Century Verse."

* Do you know the specific editor of the anthology? Knowing the editor can help pinpoint the correct publication.

Once you provide more information, I can help you determine the publication date.
