I know its a bit late and a bit of an annoying question but do you think if i have Plath, Boland and Riche covered il be ok...

Please no smart comments on how I should have studied..I know that already:D

BJC

Boland and Rich should have you covered, Im only studying Mahon and Rich. Little too much estrogen in your choice of poets for my liking....are you perhaps a man hating lesbian...? Or just terribly boring?

Overheal

Im out of the loop but who's Riche?

You're virtually guaranteed to get a female poet to come up, though. Thats been consistent for over a decade. It almost seems like a deliberate cop-out for students that aren't big into poetry.

Its always a gamble though. Good luck with it.

Adrienne Rich...sexist lesbian. Unless you were just being ironic in your slagging of the incorrect spelling of her name...:p

Yeah she always got respect from me for that.

But seriously my dirty little secret was I only studied the 2 female poets in 06'... and they both came up

but no. study 3. or more.

Don't worry about it, Boland, Rich, Mahon and either Larkin or Donne are coming up.

Well you've hardly been at it the whole day but I wouldn't study her if I were you. My advice based on more than one institute English teacher and more than one english paper examiner (for about 6 years) is:

Boland
Rich
Mahon
Donne or Larkin (not sure)

It's obviously not Gospel but if you kow three out of those four you're totally set. I know only two of them and I'm quietly confident.*

Yes, I do realise that now..feck it in anyway.Might go do a quick job on Mahon now

Also in Theme and issue in the comparitive to you only talk about one thing such as, father son relationships...or ae you meant to discuss more

The guy

I'd say plath won't come up since she came up last year.

Overheal

And in 06

Well, being boring is a tad bit better than being a sexist homophobe.

And so what if Rich's attitudes to men are ambiguous? Women have had to deal with sexism for centuries. Get over it.

Pretty sure a female poet will come up, seeing as there are 3 this year. I only studied them 3 too...eek!
