All the women are ****, they probably will put one of those depressing three bitches in there, but given that there are three, it'll probably happen anyway. Pick your poison.

So I've heard, so logically you could take Mahon off your list.

I'm covering Boland and Mahon well. Will go over Donne too.

Mahon
Donne
Larkin

I'm doing Larkin and Mahon. Maybe Boland too.

In order of preference... (as far as coming up goes)

Mahon
Rich
Boland
Plath
Montague

I'm not mad gone on Rich's poetry, much prefer Boland, and Plath is pretty good too, but Rich is easy to talk about. Montague I find very difficult to discuss, he has none of that social commentary stuff that Rich has, I find. Love Mahon anyway, hope he comes up. Ecclesiastes + As It Should Be = Deadly.

I'll be mostly focusing on the first three anyway. I'll glance over Plath and Montague...

Great minds think alike.

I'm learning the same poets too.

Rich
Larkin - hasn't been up since 2001 unlike Donne who's been up twice in 06 and 02
Boland
Mahon/Donne

philologos

Rich, Boland, Plath, Larkin, and Frost. I know Frost and Plath came up last year so I won't spend too much time on them. I've done all the female ones though. Still have to do Larkin and Frost.

kwestfan08

I'm doing Rich, Boland and Mahon.

turgon

On thing our teacher said:if theres a leak suspected in the next few days their going to switch the paper completely. Which means people doing only 4 poets (me) and especially those doing 3 might be in a mess. Not trying to scare, but if there is a leak just know information about 5, and quotes fro the ones youve studied,

dip

The papers have already been made out; I really doubt they'd go and change them.

Sure every year people guess and make predictions and claim to know what's 'definitely' coming up.

PurpleFistMixer

I believe they make alternate papers just in case...
And, turgon, do leaks happen frequently?

Peleus

A teacher in our school said if Rich, Boland or Mahon don't come up, it would be a crime against humanity.

one of them has to come up, if not it would be Plaith, Montague, Frost, Donne, Larkin. And most of them came up last year.

SmellySockies.

I'm doing Rich and Boland. Well a woman has to come up and since silvia plath came up last year I'm just going to study those two and maybe a bit of Frost or Larkin.

leomessi

Boland and Rich. A woman has to come up and plath been on the papers for the last two years.

Peleus

no plath was up last year only. and if you look back a couple of years, the last time plath was up she came up two years in a row. so do someone else briefly aswell.

I'm doing those as well.....however do you think it's a bit risky? I think that Rich is most likely to come up..
