#TheSoldier by Rupert Brooke is the next poem in our @eduqas Poetry #Anthology. Brooke believed it was the highest honor to die while fighting for your country - however, he eventually died after developing sepsis from being bitten by a mosquito #patriotic #hohacademy #gcse

'The Manhunt' by Simon Armitage is the first poem in our @eduqas poetry Anthology. The poem was originally written for a Channel 4 documentary which discussed the human price of conflict during the Bosnian War. #themanhunt #gcse #hohacademy #englishdepartment #simonarmitage

The 2nd poem in our #eduqas Poetry Anthology is 'Sonnet 43' by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She would include this sonnet in her collection titled Sonnets From the Portuguese, so titled because Robert Browning often referred to his wife as his little Portuguese. #hohacademy #gcse

Next up in our @eduqas Poetry Anthology is 'London' by William Blake. Blake was heavily inspired by the French Revolution - he even wrote children's books as a way to inspire his own generation! #blake #williamblake #hohacademy #englishdepartment #gcsepoetry
