There are fifteen poems in the AQA Power and Conflict cluster so, course, the idea of revising all of them is going to feel overwhelming. However, once you understand what each poem is trying to say (and how they're all connected by similar themes ) it becomes much easier to remember them. This guide will help you get there.

Let’s be honest. Unseen poetry can feel... a bit intimidating. You open the paper, glance at the poem you’ve never seen before and your brain freezes. What if you don’t “get” it? What if it’s weird? What if it’s one of those abstract ones without any punctuation? It’s fine. Really. It’s not about having all the answers. It’s about showing how you think, how you respond and how well you can explore a poem. Not perfectly decode it.
