Poems of the Decade: An Anthology of the Forward Books of Poetry

Product Information

These annual anthologies of the poems in the running for the Forward Prizes remain the best way of encountering the richness that new poetry has to offer. From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer. If you look at our previous tips for other exams though it’s all quite similar in terms of the approach and potential topics. The 100 poems contained in this anthology were selected from the many thousands of poems submitted to the Forward Prizes for Poetry over the past ten years.

It is then up to you to decide on another poem to use from the prescribed anthology, meaning that it is important to be confident on all the set poems and the different ways they can link to each other. A selection of 20 of these poems has been chosen by Edexcel for the Poetry paper of the A Level specification.
