    Which is the best book out of: English Key Notes 2013, Poetry Now 2013, Poetry Focus 2013, Edco Poetry Notes 2013 for higher level english poetry? I need a book because the teacher's notes aren't that good. I don't need a book for learning of poem essays but things such as themes, atmoshpere and mood.

    I'm in 6th year now and I'm using Keynotes 2012.... It's brillaint! It has all poetry notes and your Shakespeare play and Comparative. Really good value for money :D:D

    I'd have to go for Key Notes too. I got it this year and it's brilliant. I have Poetry Now too but I've never used it for themes or anything, don't think it's even got much in it other than background information on poets, and then the actual poems themselves... So yeah, go for Key Notes! It's about €14 and worth every penny. :)

    Don't know about the others, but in Poetry Now 2013 Niall MacMonagle claims that the words "night" and "clock" rhyme together... along with a few other crazy claims! :eek: But I tend to listen to my teacher more than to rely on books. :)
