    Bishop,
    no chance

    i'm doing
    PLatt
    Yeats
    HEaney
    Mahon

    Yeats is pretty easy, and interesting.

    Platt is amazing

    Heaney is boring, but easy to waffle about

    Mahon, um i'm not too sure..

    The Poetry Now 2003 book is excellent, it gives biographical notes about the poets and covers all (?) the LC syllabus poets. Good notes, interpretations of the poems and relevant background information. A one stop book tbh.
