Your best bet is to get a recent anthology.

These examples are very eclectic:

The Rattle Bag (Ed. Seamus Heaney and Ted Hughes)
Don't be put off by this Amazon review:
 A book only a poet could love
Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2013
Verified Purchase
I hated this book. Some of the poems in this book made me cry. I purchased for school but would NEVER buy this book on my own.2 people found this helpful

Staying Human
(ed Neil Astley), pub by Bloodaxe (UK, independent publisher)
This book includes poems from the last 20 years, including those about the Corona Epidemic.

Now a series of 4 volumes ( plus Being Alive, Staying Alive, Being Human) plus a slimmer summary volume. 
'real poems for unreal times'

'The word ‘anthologia’ is Greek for a collection of flowers or beautiful things - thus we have the delight of poetry anthologies, perfect for Christmas presents. Neil Astley’s serious and inspiring Staying Human follows the deserved success of Staying Alive, Being Alive and Being Human - all invigorating, essential collections.'  - Bel Mooney, Daily Mail, Christmas Books 2020
 There has been a campaign to publicise poetry on the London underground for about 30 years, this is the latest collection. Printed in the standard ad space they are all short, but diverse in age and source.
