Hey, I was glad to see someone posting about the same exam I'm about to do
I personally think that Hurricane Hits England and Presents from my Aunts in Pakistan would be a good combo, bearing in mind that Presents from My Aunts is quite a unique poem in the anthology. This is because they both feel a disconnection to their cultures and their backgrounds (for example: "it took a Hurricane to bring her closer" and "I was there - of no fixed nationality"
Then of course, London and Composed Upon Westminster Bridge would be a really great comparison. Not just because they're both about London but also about the way the different poets view industrialisation and change (for example, "the river glideth at his own sweet will" and "the chartr'd Thames"
However I also think Nothing's Changed and London would be a good combination because they both portray disgust at the world around them - but you could also compare them saying that one is angry about too much change and one is angry about the continuity
I think that Adlestrop and Absence could be potentially a good combination as they both appear to be being haunted by the things they long for and a haunting simplicity in their surroundings (for example, the descriptions of birds haunting them in both)
I Started Early - Took My Dog is a very interesting one, but as it is about drowning in a desire and on the theme of love and being consumed by one's feelings I thought maybe Absence?
Don't even get me started on Postcard from a Travel Snob...I honestly don't know what I'd do if that turned up but potentially I'd put it with Stewart Island as it's sort of the portrayed image of an environment versus the reality - the Travel snob is actually quite lonely but is presenting it as calm and in Stewart Island "but look at all this beauty" when actually the poet portrays it as dull
As you may have guessed, I do time and place anthology but I hoped this helped someone
feel free to discuss and add any points xxx
