To further support your students with the in-depth study and analysis of required poems, we've revised the list of prescribed texts from 'Poems of a Decade: An Anthology of the Forward Books of Poetry, 2002-2011'.

For first AS and A level assessment in summer 2018, eight poems have been removed from the prescribed list:

  • Eavan Boland - 'Inheritance'
  • Sue Boyle - 'A Leisure Centre is also a Temple of Learning'
  • Ciaran Carson - 'The War Correspondent'
  • Carol Ann Duffy - 'The Map Woman'
  • Robert Minhinnick - 'The Fox in the National Museum of Wales'
  • Sean O’Brien - 'Fantasia on a Theme of James Wright'
  • Ruth Padel - 'You, Shiva, and my Mum'
  • George Szirtes -'Song'

Full details of the amendment and updated Appendix 5 for A level English Literature can be found in this letter.
