A-Level Poetry NEA suggestions?

I went with one relatively unheard of text and one more well known one for my NEA last year so I think you can do either route. (I did AQA for reference). Carol Ann Duffy’s collections are generally quite varied, feminist and often reference Greek mythology; many schools do them so there’s a myriad of materials out there (for example Feminine Gospels was one of my set texts and I think other courses do The World’s Wife). Maya Angelou and Monica Yon also have some really good collections. Meadowland is the first collection that comes to mind in regards to Greek mythology.

It’s really how your write it and your points more than the texts themselves though so I wouldn’t panic too much. Good luck!

Np, what exam board and texts are you studying? Sometimes you can double up on context

I used the Goblin Market for my NEA & it was a pretty straightforward text. It reads as a fairy tale, so I compared it to Carter's 'Bloody Chamber' collection.
