    Just do Bishop, Keats, Longely and Walcott.....one of them will defo come up!


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,604 ✭✭✭xOxSinéadxOx


    I'm going to learn Walcott and Longley anyway. I hate elizabeth bishop way too much though

    Having only studied Bishop up to this point in time, I think I'm just going to concentrate on Keats and Rich. Not too fond of Longley's poetry but I might do some work on him just to be safe.

    I'm doing 3 aswell. Bishop (a woman has always come up and Rich came up last year), Keats (hasn't come up since 2002) and Longley (probably will come up and I like his poems).

    Didn't Bishop come up two years in a row a couple of years ago though?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,001 ✭✭✭p1akuw47h5r3it


    Longley and Bishop and that's it. I'm truly ****ed if one of them doesn't come up.

    Just checked there, Bishop came up in 2001 and 2002 and Plath came up in 2003 and 2004. Since 2004 no woman poet has come up 2 years in a row.

    even though I hate both of the female poets poems I'd be stupid to leave them out so Rich, Bishop and Walcott for me.
