Okay people, 2010 L.c. poet you'd most like to go get a drink with?

MarcusTheCarcus

Gotta be Walcott.... Your opinons?

Lawliet

Michael Longley FTW!

MarcusTheCarcus

Please, Walcott's just a big black hero hanging out on a beach somewhere drinking Sangria out of pineapples and having casual sex... What a hero!

My friend met him when he (As in the friend) won a short story competition, apparently he's a really nice guy, cant imagine Walcott being too pleasant tbh.

Scrambled egg

Paddy Kavanagh. Id give him a smack .

RexMundi

WB Yeats hands down.

Only one I would have any interest in meeting and he would be very interesting! Patriot and occultist, a winning combination.

Reillyman

Would have to be Yeats for me aswell, havn't sudied Walcott yet but he looks pretty cool in his picture for some reason

Yeats was never a people person. Preferred to stay away from Sligo people cept the aristocracy at the time.

Daragh101

tbh none of them!

Pinkfoot

The only two poets I remember studying during 5th year, were Patrick Kavanagh & Adrienne Rich...

Partaaaay.

Why none of them

Have you studied every poet, and came to the conclusion that you don't like any of their charchters?

answer me

Can anyone help me on the poem Shancoduff?

1.How would you desribe Kavagnah's relationship with Shancoduff?
How might this poem be seen as 'a love poem to a place?:eek:

In the answer you have to use Statemnt,Explaination and Quote

If you can't find the poem just type in Shancoduff and the poem would come up

Thanks:D

doug.irl.92

I don't really know.........I do know however who I wouldn't like to have a drink with........ Cathal O' Searcaigh!!!!!

highlydebased

Probably Eavan Boland! Although isint she ancient now...lol

FredBaby!

Patrick Kavanagh-o'course!

Pinksocks

Defo Rich :DD

sean0

Adrienne Rich, i'd let her buy me a drink and clean my house

paperheart

Adrienne Rich of course, although i was reading her overview and it turns out she's a lesbian, i hope she doesn't get handsy when she's drunk.

DancingQueen:)

I've only done three so far but it had to be T.S Eliot to ask him what his poetry is about ? It's so confusing

TS Eliot defo.
I'd say he would have been a laugh in the pub.

Ruski

Derek Walcott. Go drinking then go looking for birds. Coz that man knows what he's doing.

Durtbag.

DakotaDreaming

Last I heard Walcott was planning on setting up his own rip off version of the playboy mansion on a Carribean beach with Kavanagh and a few of the lads.

Baile an Locha

Aw out with Kavanagh,Walcott and Rich imagine that. Kavanagh and Walcott ripping the p1ss outta her!! Kavanagh was just a teenage dirtbag baby...and he robbed a post office!! What's not to love?!! All of Rich's poetry is lesbian propaganda..women as equals!! Wouldn't happen in shancoduff!!

R0siE

I like this Q!
Hmm I think Yeats, I'm very patriotic and I'd say he'd be a good conversationalist...a good drunk too!It would have to be whiskey with him I think...
Although I wouldn't mind a drink with Walcott either...I'm not doing him but I read his bio and he seems cool!Defo malibu with pineapple or coke with him....every time my friend drinks malibu he says its like reading a Walcott poem anyway!
=]

MarcusTheCarcus

Here's how I break it down:
Boland: Your mate from dundrum's ma. Lots of fun
Eliot: Egotistical depressing and snobby. No thanks
Kavanagh: The architypal self important culchie. God no
Keats: Probably a very nice guy, but not exactly a manly man....
Longley: Boring. Average guy, average poet. meh
Rich: Shrill. Annoying. Make me a damn sammich
Walcott: Not really a good person, but radiates sun, sand sex and cool
Yeats: Fun, but just a shade mad.....

itsokay

laura93

Kavanagh or Rich, definitely

NightOwl91

Eliot!
lol it wud be interesting to see if he actually asks "theeee" question :L:L
or Rich!
shes very interesting.

If it was Kavanagh, id box him lol he made me cry

zoom!

Probably Rich... so i can verbally abuse her personally

yellowbutterfly

Not Kavanagh - creepy stalker dude who follows women half his age to Kerry according to the back of my poetry book.
Keat's would probably be far too depressed to come.....

Yeah he robbed one when he was in the IRA,it's all in the poetry book. I liked Kavanagh's poetry...Rich was such a complainer,she complained about everything!!! Husband alive-Not happy, Husband dead-Not happy, And what was the deal with her staring at beatles and imaging a beatle city, that woman had issues. Original point, pub with walcott and kavanagh..Disco with yeats, he'd score all 'round him.

MaggieNF

hmm eavan boland so i can kill her
