Everyman's Library 1991 - 2022

The Pocket Poets series began in November of 1993, with the release of six titles: collections of five poets ( Baudelaire, Dickinson, Rosetti, Shelley and Stevens) and a collection of love poems. For the next few years there were similar releases - small anthologies of various poets and the occasional anthology. Around the year 2000 that ratio reversed, and since them the series has veen heavily oriented towards anthologies; one assumes the publishers have successfully tapped the gift market.

The Pocket Poet volumes are small books with usually 256 pages. Unlike all the other volumes associated with Everyman's Libary, these may have glued rather than sown bindings. Quite a few of the titles seem to have not been published in the UK. See the status page for more detail.
