Written specifically for the 2015 AQA GCSE English Literature specification, covering the poetry and unseen poetry aspect of the specification.

Features a special section for each of the two AQA poetry anthology clusters ('Love and relationships' and Power and conflict'), building skills in comparing anthology poems.
A dedicated section on unseen poems, including six additional poems and extensive support on exploring and comparing unseen poems, develops confidence for this aspect of the exam.
Questions on the anthology and unseen poems, expert guidance and example answers provide further exam preparation support.
