Do you guys think I'd be ok with Larkin,Heaney, Bishop and Mahon covered? I really hope Larkin comes up as I love his poetry - Anyone think this is likely? I'm obviously prepared for all though. Only poet I'm leaving out is Plath and we didn't cover the rest of the poets

I would of learnt dickinson instead of bishop and plath

You've done four which means it's highly likely you'll get something, but I think either Yeats or Dickinson is more likely than Bishop and Plath combined. Have a look at a fifth just to be sure because I don't think you've chosen the most likely poets tbh! I could envisage a paper with Kinsella, Mahon, Yeats and Dickinson.

That's all the poets our teacher covered though Larkin,Heaney,Mahon,Bishop and Plath. Really hoping for Larkin or Mahon though! Oops EDIT: I meant I covered Mahon, not Plath!

Best 4 In my opinion are Dickinson , Yeats , Larkin and Heaney .
I could definitely see Dickinson and Yeats on it

Just on the topic of likeliness/probability; I'm pretty sure Plath came up 2003/2004 and didn't Rich come up 2 years in a row before (all I know is that she was fairly popular). So just because Bishop/Plath came up last year it doesn't make Dickinson a definite for this year.
Don't make the mistake that the 2012 LCers did

I'd look over Plath's poems quickly just incase you get stuck or you get a bad question on your favoured poets

I'm banking on Dickinson, Yeats, Mahon and Larkin. Would anyone advice studying a 5th?
