Hi, I see you've had a response already. But regardless, I'd be happy to provide some help.

Are there any poems in that section of the anthology you predominantly prefer over the others? (I bet it isn't My Last Duchess lol!)

I (english a-level student btw) was helping my sister out with this poetry stuff last night and we went over Nettles, and I helped her conclude The Manhunt would be the best to compare it to, due to it's shared theme of war and soldiers.

When deciding what poems to compare, a great bit of advice I can give you is compare by structure, literary techniques and themes. Though, it is important you highly base it on theme, if I'm not wrong. You can compare similarities of structural and literary techniques, and ultimately, can contrast them based on that.

Feel free to drop a message, I'd be happy to provide you with some annotations if you need any.
