Porphyria's Lover

This Victorian poem is one of the many dramatic monologues written by Robert Browning. Like many of these dramatic monologues, it is written in rhyming couplets and is told from the point of view of a dangerous, complex character. The name in the poem's title translates as 'purple', a colour associated with royalty. It is also the name of a disease that can cause madness.

Robert Browning

This Victorian poet was born in 1812 and died in 1889. He became known for dramatic monologues, often voiced by dark, troubled personas. He married one of the other poets in the 'Love and Relationships' cluster.

Winter Swans

This is a contemporary poem, taken from a collection by Owen Sheers called 'Skirrid Hill'. In Welsh, the word 'Skirrid' means 'shattered', but can also be interpreted as meaning 'divorced' or 'separate'.

Mother, any distance

This poem comes from a collection called 'Book of Matches', named because the poet intended for the poems to be read in the time it takes for a match to burn. Simon Armitage often writes about complex, universal ideas (family, growing up, etc.) using everyday events.

Sonnet 29 - 'I think of thee'

This poem is a sonnet: a regular, 14 line love poem. It was written by Elizabeth Barrett-Browning. Her husband, Robert Browning, urged her to publish her sonnets, even though they were deeply personal, and, for Victorian tastes, shockingly open, emotional and revealing. Even though women were expected to be demure, this poem bursts with emotion.

Singh Song!

This poem is about the merging of two cultures. The poet, Daljit Nagra, is a British Asian whose parents moved to the UK from India in the 1950s. His family opened a corner shop when they moved to Sheffield. In this light-hearted love poem, Nagra pokes fun at Indian stereotypes.

Walking Away

This poem is written about the poet's son. Like many of Cecil Day Lewis's poems, it uses images of nature to describe personal experiences. In this poem, the poet looks back on a memory from eighteen years ago that still 'gnaws' at him.

Love's Philosophy

This poem suggests there is a higher knowledge or wisdom about love than the thoughts and feelings of individual people, as though there are generally accepted, logical, unwritten laws about love. Shelley is suggesting that we are governed by these natural instincts.

Letters from Yorkshire

This poem was published in 2002. It deals with themes of longing, love and distance. It was written by Maura Dooley.

Climbing My Grandfather

This poem was written by Andrew Waterhouse. It uses an extended metaphor in which getting to know a family member in described in terms of climbing a mountain.

The Farmer's Bride

This poem was written by Charlotte Mew, a Victorian poet who had a hard upbringing in poverty. It is a dramatic monologue, and, like many of Mew's poems, it adopts a male perspective on relationships.

Follower

This poem was written by Irish poet Seamus Heaney. It focuses on his relationship with his father.

Eden Rock

This poem, written by Charles Causley, is nostalgic, symbolic and partly autobiographical. Causley's father died when he was around 7 years old. The poem was published after his mother died, when he was well into his old age.

Simon Armitage

This poet is a Yorkshireman, born in 1963. He recently became Oxford Professor of Poetry. At one time, he worked as a probation officer in Manchester. He often writes about universal ideas (family, growing up, etc.) using everyday events.

Lord Byron

This poet was born in 1788 and died in 1824. He was labelled 'mad, bad and dangerous to know.' He is one of the 'big six' of the Romantic period and was famous for his life of excess: love affairs, huge debts, etc.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning

This poet was born in 1806 and died in 1861. She suffered from ill health for much of her life. Her father was overbearing and refused to allow his daughters to marry. She wrote letters to Robert Browning and they eventually eloped. As a result, she was disinherited by her father.

Thomas Hardy

This poet was born in 1840 and died in 1928. He was a Victorian poet and he wrote many poems about failed relationships. He also wrote famous novels, e.g. 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles' and 'Jude the Obscure'.

Charlotte Mew

This poet was born in 1869 and died in 1928. Her career spanned the Victorian and Edwardian eras and she was also a WWI poet. Many of her family members suffered with mental health problems and she was terrified of experiencing the same difficulties. She vowed never to marry; most of her romantic attachments were to women. She took her own life after the death of her last remaining sibling.

Cecil Day-Lewis

This poet was born in 1904 and died in 1972. He was the Poet Laureate from 1968 until his death. His poetry is often romantic and uses nature to explore personal experiences. One of his sons, Daniel, became the only man to win Best Actor at the Academy Awards three times.

Seamus Heaney

This poet was born in 1939 and died in 2013. He was brought up in a simple, rural family and was the eldest of 8 children.He became an English teacher and began to write poetry.He became the Professor of Poetry at Oxford andin 1995 won the Nobel prize for literature.He was also offered the role of Poet Laureate (the national poet) but he turned it down because of his strong Irish roots and identity.

Carol Ann Duffy

This poet was born in 1955. She is the current Poet Laureate. She was raised in Scotland before moving to England as a child. Her poem is autobiographical and was published in 1993.

Maura Dooley

This poet was born in 1957 in Cornwall. She went to University in York and she lived in Yorkshire for some years before moving to London. She is a freelance writer and teaches Creative Writing at the University of London.

Andrew Waterhouse

This poet was born in 1958 and died in 2001. He was a teacher, environmentalist, poet and musician. He committed suicide, havibng suffered from depression throughout his life. He was described in his obituary as imagining a 'world... full of solid objects and hard edges, stones, wood and frozen ground.

Daljit Nagra

This poet was born in 1966. His parents travelled to the UK from India and set up a corner shop in Sheffield. One of the things which he celebrates in his poems is the Indian accent.

Charles Causley

This poet was brought up in Cornwall. He was a private man and believed everything people needed to know about him was contained within his poems. His father died when he was young, which may explain the idea he explores in 'Eden Rock'.

Percy Bysshe Shelley

This poet was one of the 'big six' of the Romantic movement. He was a vegetarian, a political poet and an atheist. He was expelled from Oxford for his views. He had some scandalous relationships, and is known for his marriage to Mary Shelley, the author of 'Frankenstein.'

Owen Sheers

This poet wrote 'Winter Swans'. He was born in 1974 and he is Welsh. He wrote a collection called 'Skirrid Hill'.

Neutral Tones

Thomas Hardy wrote this poem. Much of his poetry is autobiographical, about his relationships and the failure of his relationships. Much of his poetry was about his estranged wife, Emma, whom he mourned for the rest of his life. This poem, however, was written about a previous relationship that did not last. Although a Victorian novelist and poet, Hardy was influenced by the Romantic poets.
