Favourite poet on the english HL course

Michael Longley

Even though I used to hate him, T.S Eliot will always have a special place in my heart as he came up and his question was lovely.

Adrienne Rich

I know she disappointed a nation, but I still love my Boland

Rich, on the other hand, is a creature...

John Keats

T.S. Eliot

There's no one I really hate on the course but I find it really hard to write good answers on Boland because (well out of the poems we did) her poems lacked a unifying theme.

Didn't like Rich when we were reading her poems but actually when we finished her up I liked writing about her. I mean, I still slag her off about hating men but I think her poetry is good Sometimes it's a bit in your face too much but for the most part I think she's a good poet and the words she uses, you know they're really carefully chosen because you just can't imagine anything else fitting..and her images are really good. Cos it's semi-modern you can relate to it a little bit more than Yeats or Kavannagh I think. Yeats was alright but I didn't really want to go back over Kavannagh, find his stuff a bit boring and too introspective

Who're the poets for next year? Heard some 5th Years saying that Boland has to come up next year.... don't think they got the point of the message from SEC... :rolleyes:
