Wordsworth, oh my dear wordsworth, i'm counting on ya man. Don't let me down!

Nobody backing Rich?
For me personally I'm going with Rich, Boland Dickinson and probably Yates :')

Poetry isnt something I'm to worried about, I'm not exactly that A student

Dickinson. Gotta believe.

marko93

Dickinson, Boland and Frost.. 3 poets i studied.. 3 poets people think are coming up..
LEAVING CERT ARE YOU EVEN TRYING?

BronaghMcA

i'm studying frost and dickinson. if they don't come up... i'll still write about them!

marko93

Also lads and lassies, poetry is worth 17.5%..
So honestly if it doesent go right for you on the day dont worry to much!
I know alot of people are going for the A, but like poetry isnt be all end all, so cheer up and get working
Adios!

FTS

Everyones going around freaking out about the Boland question. Honestly, how hard of a question can they ask you? Once you know the poetry, youll be fine.

I'm hoping for , in order of preference.
Dickinson - Something about style, or personal response. I'm set for anything really
Frost - Poems tinged with sadness.
Boland - Uhh, hopefully not something hideously specific

And for the rest of the paper..
Comparative - Hopefully theme or issue
Single Text - Hamlet Soliloquies, PLEASE GOD LET IT BE SOLILOQUIES (or hamlet character)

UL

Thanks if your are asked on a poets style what do you say?

Doubting Boland will be as specific as people think. They have to take into account that not everyone studies certain poems. Question shouldn't come up on Mythology alone because Love and The Pomegranate are the only ones that really are based on mythology (enough to write about anyway). Same with history.
I'd say if anything, how she combines history+mythology to convey woman's matters.

I think it'll be something like:

"Bolands poetry celebrates the domestic and role of women in a world that is often violent and threatening"

Anyone want to help me with Frost?
What poems would you use to write about sadness?
I know acquainted with the night, Provide Provide and Out Out but any other poems you could use?

That question looks awful at a glance, but, wow, wouldn't it be lovely?

Basically, talk about motherhood and violence.

Fingers crossed!

I don't mean to be rude, but it's not just risky, it's ... not sensible!
