    Please, Walcott's just a big black hero hanging out on a beach somewhere drinking Sangria out of pineapples and having casual sex... What a hero!

    My friend met him when he (As in the friend) won a short story competition, apparently he's a really nice guy, cant imagine Walcott being too pleasant tbh.

    WB Yeats hands down.

    Only one I would have any interest in meeting and he would be very interesting! Patriot and occultist, a winning combination.

    Yeats was never a people person. Preferred to stay away from Sligo people cept the aristocracy at the time.

    Why none of them:confused:

    Have you studied every poet, and came to the conclusion that you don't like any of their charchters?

    Can anyone help me on the poem Shancoduff?

    1.How would you desribe Kavagnah's relationship with Shancoduff?
    How might this poem be seen as 'a love poem to a place?:eek:

    In the answer you have to use Statemnt,Explaination and Quote

    If you can't find the poem just type in Shancoduff and the poem would come up

    Thanks:D

    Adrienne Rich of course, although i was reading her overview and it turns out she's a lesbian, i hope she doesn't get handsy when she's drunk. :D

    I've only done three so far but it had to be T.S Eliot to ask him what his poetry is about ? It's so confusing :confused:

    Derek Walcott. Go drinking then go looking for birds. Coz that man knows what he's doing.

    Durtbag.

    Last I heard Walcott was planning on setting up his own rip off version of the playboy mansion on a Carribean beach with Kavanagh and a few of the lads.
