Poetry Analysis

[Luvknowledge]

Does anyone know of any sites where I can get analysis of poems for my daughters GCSE exam?

Thanks for your replies.

I had already tried google and a host of sites and still can't find anything. Wikipeadia have profiles on the poets but she is looking for more info on analysis. She found a complete analysis on Lawrence Ferlinghetti's Two scavengers... on the BBC website, nothing on the others. They are: Shefalika Verma (My Village), Benjamin Zephaniah (Biko the Greatness), Niyi Osundare (Not my Business), Marin Sorescu (House under surveillance), Luis Godoy (Revenge), Marin Sorescu (Pleasant executions) and finally - James Berry (Listn big brodda dread, na!).

As I said she has all the info on where the poets are coming from, politically, socially and emotionally but she needs some more pointers on the poetic form, tones and use of language etc...

Any ideas?
