Who's your favourite poet on the 2012 leaving cert course?

I know I'm on my own here but so far I think Plath is the best poet we've done.

Plath. The woman's a fúcking genius.

I'm actually surprised, nobody in my school likes Plath:p

Canard · 28-10-2011 10:23pm

We didnt do Plath but I'm getting one of my friends to teach me her, she seems so amazing and I'm sick of hearing about her epicness and not understanding :P
I loved Rich though!

Rich, just cause I'm a man hating lesbian too....

AnamGlas · 28-10-2011 10:42pm

Patrick Kavanagh

Heaney for me

Sunny!! · 28-10-2011 10:55pm

Robert Frost

boland. simple short poetry and easy to write on:)

But patrick kavanagh, worst poet ever, nothing to his poetry imo

I also can't wait to do Plath!

Adrienne Rich

Too many angry lesbians here...

I'd go for Plath as well closely followed by Boland.

Dislike Rich though she's too much of a whinger.

Leftyflip · 29-10-2011 10:02am

As I said to my English teacher in the middle of the class: "Rich obviously isn't a lipstick lesbian, she's a man hating one isn't she?" followed by (in reference to Trying to Talk With a Man) "Has that bitch ever tried talking to a woman!?!"

Sylvia Plath

I do like Rich, but i think Larkin is very easy to write on! Agree on how bad Kavanagh is though!

Coeurdepirate · 29-10-2011 4:03pm

I hate Kavanagh. His use of colloquial language can suck my dick.

Chavways · 29-10-2011 5:27pm

You should give an 'I hate the lot of them' option.That the way I feel.

freakybeaky108 · 29-10-2011 6:10pm

My class think Frost is a werewolf...

Thomas Kinsella

kavanagh is my favorite then heaney then larkin
we haven't done plath or frost yet

laoch na mona · 29-10-2011 6:21pm

Thomas Kinsella

im a culchie that's probably why i like him

FreeFallin94 · 29-10-2011 6:59pm

Ughh my teacher isn't doing Plath with us

And I was really looking forward to studying her poetry as well! But so far my favourite is either Robert Frost or Eavan Boland.

Plath!!!, Unlucky the hero born in this province of the stuck record, where the most watchful cooks go jobless, and the mayor's rotisserie turns round of it's own accord. There's no career in the venture of riding against the lizard, himself withered these latter days to leaf sixe from lack of action, history's beaten the hazard.....

Pure Genius!
