Themes for Larkin and Abse Poetry
These cards cover poems for themes that may come up in the Larkin/Abse question on the WJEC board (themes that my teacher has given me so far for practice essays). As my class is still covering poems in both the Abse and Larkin collections I may have missed some out of certain themes, feel free to add some in the comments, also feel free to suggest a theme I haven't thought of, it will help enormously. Remember in the exam we are supposed to comment on at least two of Larkin's poems, so I suggest finding two from a list that you feel most comfortable relating to the theme (and comparing with Abse's writing) as your main focus and then perhaps small links from others. Also remember to read the question, sounds simple enough but they won't always word it the same. They may give you a statement and say "with this statement in mind, comment on how Larkin and Abse write about [...]". Good luck though!
