    I'm only doing Boland and Rich so if anything else comes up, the studied poetry is a write off !

    Well if you knew the names of the poems just fit them into the poet u know well...it could be seen as a different view....U may get away talking about "the tuft of flowers" in "the flea" or something lol

    you try your hardest to remember what you do about the 4.

    How many female poets you have this year? Study those.

    all you can do is hope for the best, pretty much everyone has one or two poets they'd LOVE to come up (donne/mahon for me) but sadly some people are gonna have to be dissapointed.... it's all about luck at this stage!

    i'd say just go for a major bluff if the absolute worst happens and b**** all you can, try to add some humour or something and write all you can!

    if mahon/boland/rich dont come up(which is so so not gonna happen)the majority of people are gonna be screwed so we'll all be in the same boat!
