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 violence. It could be recommended to more able students for the theme of British culture/society.
A poster advertising Prestatyn as a holiday destination is defaced and vandalised, echoing the gap between the promised paradise and the realities of life.
Links to Duffy/Plath: British culture and society (Duffy)
Lang-Lit points: lexis and register (especially its rapid degeneration as the poster is defaced), semantic fields relating to geography and anatomy, connotations of verbs and adjectives.
