    God they all sound so boring. What happened to Emily Dickinson and Sylvia Plath:confused: Most of them are male. At least they have not got Patrick Kavanagh. He was such a bore.

    Is that all? yes!
    I'm repeating.....Larkin, Mahon, Rich and Montague were the only ones I understood/liked on last years course.
    So I think I'll be covered if I just do them again and Elizabeth Bishop - who's the only woman poet! (other than Rich who came up in 08!)

    god.....making predictions already!:rolleyes:

    But there's a choice of 4. :cool:

    I'll do at least 5 of the 7 different poets.
