Hi, It was Ode to Greyson Perry Urn or An Easy Passage for the Poems of the Decade and for the Romantics it was Blake's London and Shelley's Ode to a West Wind.
Hope that helps :smile:

These were the questions just in case you are curious:

Poems of the Decade

Read the poem On the New Bypass by Jane Commane on page 3 of the source booklet and reread the anthology poem Ode on a Grayson Perry Urn by Tim Turnbull
Compare the ways both poets present contemporary urban life.

Read the poem On the New Bypass by Jane Commane on page 3 of the source booklet and reread the anthology poem An Easy Passage by Julia Copus
Compare the methods both poets use to explore change.



Romantics

Sorry, is there any chance you know what questions came up for the prose paper last year as well? I am doing the women & society topic, so Wuthering Heights + A Thousand Splendid Suns. Would be much appreciated!
