    I really like Plath and I find Wordsworth HILARIOUS.

    She's not the worst..

    I find it unlikely that she will as she came up 2012 and 2010, but you never know..

    The five I've done are Shakespeare, Plath, Mahon, Bishop and Hopkins.

    My favourite would have to be Mahon. Really dislike Shakespeare and Hopkins but determined to study them hard as I have a feeling either one of them will appear on the paper in June. But yeah, I have 5 poets so I won't be stuck any way.

    I dislike mahon because i find his poetry boring but its not too bad to write on so if he came up i'd probably do him. Otherwise Plath or Bishop :)
