In my English A-level syllabus was a book of modern poetry and our tutor asked us to choose a poem, study it and discuss it in the next class. I chose 'Inglan Is A Bitch' by Linton Kwesi Johnson.<br /><br />In the next class our tutor asked each of us to read our chosen poems aloud to the class. So there I was, trying to imitate the Jamaican patois that the poem was written in, sounding like a total wally! I wish I'd chosen something by Carol Ann Duffy instead!TheRobsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277941961790844321noreply@blogger.com
