i never thought it was possible to hate people that youve never even met so much! poets, dear god some times i wonder why the name of god we have to study them! after finishing Kavanagh last week the only conclusion i could come to was that he is an egotistical self centred little man! “On Raglan Road” nearly made my blood boil.. deary me what a fun start to the year this is!
Of 4 poets we have studied so far, only Frost was reasonably likeable but he came up last year so we can forget about him.
I think leaving cert poetry is about the examiner judging your ability to lie through praising those poets you can’t help but hate.
I really hope someone else actually good is on the course…
