Poems of the Decade brings together more than one hundred poems from the many thousands submitted to the Forward Prizes for Poetry in the first decade of the 21st century.

These annual anthologies of the poems in the running for the Forward Prizes remain the best way of encountering the richness that new poetry has to offer. We don’t have any specific predictions for the AS exam however we made some predictions here for last years A Level exam and this seem strong contenders for potential inclusion in this AS exam.

For AS Level students, you will be given two questions to pick from, and each will specify a poem to be used. You will have to pick one of two specified questions, each of which will have one poem that is part of this collection and one unseen poem.From Nobel Laureates Samuel Beckett and Harold Pinter to theatre greats Tom Stoppard and Alan Bennett to rising stars Polly Stenham and Florian Zeller, Faber Drama presents the very best theatre has to offer. It is the perfect introduction to a wide range of contemporary poetry: works that speak of violence, danger and fear, of love and all that opposes love, in forms of language broken and reshaped by the need to communicate what it is to be alive now, here. We build and maintain all our own systems, but we don’t charge for access, sell user information, or run ads. However, they act as a great option to use for practice essays and general Poems of the Decade revision, with analysis available to support your learning.

Poems of the Decade is a celebration of the last ten years of poetry published in the UK and Ireland. The Forward Prizes for Poetry have established themselves as central to the literary landscape of modern Britain. They have been awarded annually since 1992 for the Best Collection, Best First Collection and Best Single Poem published in Britain and Ireland, and the roster of winning, shortlisted and highly commended poets regularly juxtaposes familiar canonical names with fresh voices. Unfortunately I’m not familiar with the January exams so don’t have any recommendations specific to them. A selection of 20 of these poems has been chosen by Edexcel for the Poetry paper of the A Level specification.They are awarded annually for the Best Collection, Best First Collection and Best Single Poem published in Britain and Ireland and are recognised for bringing together familiar names and exciting new talent.
