Overview
What you need to know
The 15 poems mapped by theme, so that for any likely theme you can choose a partner poem that fits and that you know well.
How the poems differ in period, voice and form, from Blake and Wordsworth to poets writing today.
A table of the 15 poems: poet, when the poem was written or published (or its period, where no date is recorded), form, and one key quotation each.
The poems grouped by theme, many in more than one group: love and relationships; parents, children and family; war and conflict; nature; home, place and belonging; childhood and growing up; memory; guilt and suffering; loss and change.
How each question names a theme, such as love in 2025 and nature in 2026, and how to choose a partner poem that fits it and that you can quote from memory.
Pairings that work for each theme, with the similarities and differences that make a comparison.
