    What style of questions do you reckon will come up for these poets:

    Plath
    Mahon
    Bishop
    Hopkins

    Like, is the only thing that could pretty much come up for bishop be to write about her vivid imagery and attention to detail, while mahons q should be something to do with past/present/politics? I am trying to get a sample q on each so going to revise the most likely q for each

    Plath - Emotions in her imagery, Contrast between light and dark, personal response
    Mahon - past Life experiences, exploration of people and places, Dark side of his poetry,personal response.
    Bishop - Imagery and style, Life experiences, questions of travel, personal response,

    What do you mean by questions of travel for Bishop?

    Cheers

    Hopkins; if he comes up I would say it would be a lovely question - to reward anyone who has covered him. Possibly something along the lines of "his work expresses gladness and dejection" or "Hopkins shows how the divine can link to almost every aspect of our lives"
