Poets on the unseen poetry list
The second part of the English literature GCSE exam this year requires students to repond to an unseen poem. The unseen poet will come from the list below. A student was revising for the exam in the library this week when we realised that we did not have an anthology or collection on the list and in response to this I decided to make a list of poetry by the named poets which is available for free online. A large number of the poems (along with poet biographies) are on through Poetry Foundation which is available as a free app.
It is not a comprehensive list but will give students an overview of the poet's work.
