    Okay.

    I have done Michael Longley and John Motague in detail, and I am confident with both. I am hoping one will come up. I have covered Bishop and Walcott but I didn't do enough. Should I cover one of those in detail again?

    If I was to answer a question on Bishop, how would I do it?

    What are the key points that I should mention about her poetry?

    ---

    Also does anyone have any sample essays on teenagers or any common topics that come up, just to get the gist of them for backup.

    Thanks a lot, it would be huge help if you could answer any of those.

    Bishop-

    Talk about her explorations/ celebrations of the ordinary. She probes seemingly normal aspects of every day life to reveal layers of depth/ meaning. Gives us great insight into the world in which we live etc.
    eg. The Filling Station/ The Fish

    She recalls intense personal experiences from her childhood/ Gives impressive insights into the mind of a child.
    eg. First Death in Nova Scotia, In the Waiting Room

    Rails against mankind for brutally inflicting their will upon nature/ Speaks on behalf of animals
    eg. Armadillo


    I think that travel is another key aspect of her work although I haven't covered that.
