Genius is in process of annotating all the poems in the UK GCSE and A level syllabus, covering all exam Boards. Look them up on this site if you are studying them at school. Any that have been missed will be done in the next couple of months, but you can always message Jilly Birks if there’s an additional poem you’d like to be annotated. This link takes you to a poem, ‘Mametz Wood’, in the Owen Sheers collection entitled ‘Skirrid Hill’, but other poets include the Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘World’s Wife’ collection, Sylvia Plath’s ‘Ariel’ collection, John Donne, Christina Rossetti and a range of others up to the present.

Austin Allen annotates “Ode to the Hartford Whalers” and “Valentine Variations” from his debut poetry collection, Pleasures of the Game.
