This Be Curious entry relates to the BBC Poetry Archive which is a rich bank of cultural and intellectual wealth. There is so much material here. Poets discuss their work, celebrities discuss the influence that poetry has had on their lives, there is advice on writing your own poetry, an a to z of poets with access to their poems...it is a vast and relevant resource.
A2 students will be asked to complete a 1200/1500 word task for their coursework and i encourage all students to navigate this site to identify a poem that you would like to be the focus of your coursework. However, you could simply peruse this site to broaden your knowledge of poetry and poets.
The site was originally designed to help the BBC discover 'The Nation's Favourite Poet' and encouraged viewers to vote via this webpage. The voting has ceased but the resource remains. Be Curious. Go on..I dare you.
