Common misconception
That you can only analyse what techniques a poet chooses to use.
Sometimes it's very powerful to analyse why a poet may have chosen not to use a technique in contrast to one who did choose to use it.
Equipment
You will need a copy of Michael Laskey’s ‘Nobody’ and Robin Robertson’s ‘Donegal’ which are available in the additional materials.
