That is rather helpful the day before the exam. (Two days, if you're counting it as P2, I suppose...)


Anyway, I'm learning Bishop, and Walcott, and glancing over Longley. I possibly already posted this in this thread, but I'm too tried to remember so whatevs. Hopefully a nice question comes up on one of them

The new course was only examined for the first time in 2001 and the the lists of poets change every year so the basis for all these predictions (they 'always'/'never' ask.....)is a bit shaky! The mocks are also no indication of what will come up - they are set by teachers working for DEB/Examcraft etc ....don't rely on who or what came up in mocks when trying to predict the real LC papers.

If Bishop doesn't come up, people will be pissed off and it will be funny.

degausserxo

Isn't Montague up for a Nobel Prize next year?

Walcott

I am thinking of just doing 3 poets.Longley, Montague and Bishop.I amn't sure if this a big risk or not.It seems somewhat safe I would've though but then again "expect the unexpected"

I really just want Longley.It'd be so good if he came up.

Pretty sure Bishop is dead...

I think it was Longley's 80th this year as well though... It's definitely Montagues and someone elses....

Bishop was born in 1929 as well;)

Longley

If Keats doesn't come up in the paper tomorrow people, think of me, think of poor JammyDodger. The joys of only studying one poet.

Why would you bother learning more than Bishop and Rich? There is ALWAYS a female poet! If we had actually done Rich in class I would be doing ehr and Bishop and I would be laughing! Can nobody see that this is by far the best combination if you are only doing two poets?

Uh, maybe they actually prefer other poets?

I've studied all five poets upside down and inside out..

Not!!

I kinda know two with a very vague third!

Fingers crossed for Keats, Bishop or Montague!! :eek:

Well you can like another poet as much as you like but there's not much point if they don't come up. a woman is pretty much guaranteed to come up and you could cover your ass by studying those two, I wish I had thought of that before.

At least I'm not the only one who's completely screwed if Keats doesn't raise that glorious, classical romantic poet head of his

I know Bishop and Rich pretty well too, but I also really want Keats to come up - he's a joy to write about, and actually rather interesting.

**Timbuk2**

There has been a female poet every year so far, but they are not obliged to put one on. Although I expect a female poet to come up tomorrow, I wouldn't be surprised if one didn't.
