The poems “Storm on the Island” by Seamus Heaney and “Hurricane hits England” by Grace Nichols explore the force of nature. Seamus Heaney and Grace Nichols both had experiences of the power of Nature. There are many similarities and differences between the two poems which must now be examined. Seamus Heaney was born in 1939…

In this essay, I will be examining two poems – ‘Porphyria’s Lover’, by Robert Browning, and ‘Human Interest’, by Carol Ann Duffy.

Poetry
For this essay, I will be looking at the poem “Nothing’s Changed”, by Tatamkhulu Afrika, and the poem “Island Man”, by Grace Nichols. Each poem, instead of directly linking with the chosen title, deals with the connection of people to places where they used to live. For example “Island Man” shows the deep connection between…
Arthur Miller
Playwright
