This poem is not included as a taught poem in the scheme of work, but it is listed on the student handout for the theme of nature, and it could be recommended to more able/interested students for the use of imagery.
A journey into Hull is described, contrasting the industrial and urban landscapes with the rural.
Links to Duffy/Plath: nature (Plath), imagery (Duffy/Plath)
Lang-Lit points: syntax (focus on clauses not sentence types), imagery: similes, metaphors and detailed description, phonology – alliteration and clustered sounds, and rhyme scheme, semantic fields relating to industry and nature.
