    Nearly impossible to predict I'm afraid as there are so many options. If you are doing the studied poets, you could prob go over papers for the past few years and rule out poets that have come up before. Likewise, if you are doing the individual poems, rule out any that came up in the last 2/3 years.

    A bit of advice though - don't sweat it. The poetry is only worth 50marks and you can spend a massive amounts of time on those poems for very little return. Students frequently answer the poetry section as unseen.
