Found Alan Jenkins poems in the Forward Anthology 1994 and picked up his collection ‘Harm’ - it’s full of ridiculously good poems. Pick up a copy if you can https://t.co/fVrHBVSkbB

In a slightly different vein but still very much bound to the other poems is the work of Ted Hughes with poems such as ‘Thrushes’ and ‘Brambles’ - the utter otherness of Nature https://t.co/K57YVT6blD

Conducting a bit of research: What appeals to you as a reader about Frost’s ‘Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening’ - why do you think it is a classic poem so universally liked? https://t.co/c5I370xqFt

If anyone is looking for recommendations then ‘The Handless Maiden’ by Vicki Feaver is honestly one of the best collections I’ve read. Published in 1994. Pick up a copy, you won’t be disappointed. https://t.co/4aMpg7isXC
