Modern British poetry is interesting, accessible and enjoyable. Poets have engaged with the world around them, reflecting on and being reflective of the impact of a changing social and political era. They have also developed their own distinctive voices. This Study Day will explore a wide range of poets covering the period from 1945 to the present day. Poets to be considered will be Philip Larkin, Elizabeth Jennings, Ted Hughes, Sylvia Plath, Seamus Heaney, Wendy Cope, Carol Ann Duffy and Simon Armitage.
