    If Plath or Rich don't come up I am going to have a nervous breakdown.

    It was one question... A fairly valid one too I think, bit of a weird spoiler.

    Don't mind him, I asked a a question in one of his threads and apparently he's so pressed about it he's now stalking my posts to find other instances of me asking questions. Strange...

    He hasn't been on the course in 25 years i think it is. I was talking to my dad about the poets on my course and he recognised kinsella!


    I'm doing Plath , Rich , Kavanagh , Heaney

    I've a feeling Kav'll be on. But I'm praying for Plath.

    Why does everyone think the SEC will be so eager to put Kinsella on this year? He's on next year's course too!

    I also dont see why Kavanagh wont come up. Wouldnt mind :)

    Don't think it's been quite that long, my mam went back to do her Leaving in '93 and she said he was on her paper. Still a fair while though :P

    I'm definitely doing Plath, Larkin, Rich and Heaney, even though I despise Heaney. Think Kinsella will be my 5th, the only other poet we've done is Kavanagh and I despise him too :pac: I actually hate all the male Irish poets!

    Ya? oh i was just saying what my teacher said. We did all the poets. but i don't care for a fifth. hopefully I won't be stuck. I'd hope either plath or rich or kav will come up. Not bothered with heaney

    I would recommend doing the female poets i personally find the poems more interesting than others more themes, images etc.
