AQA GCSE Power and Conflict Poetry
Below, you’ll find a full list of poems for the AQA English Literature GCSE Power and Conflict Poetry cluster. Remember that these poems need to be learned in detail, with a focus on how they relate to the themes of ‘power’ and ‘conflict’ — try to think deeply about the messages on these themes that are present in each one.
There's a selection of downloadable documents of the poems (I'll be adding to these regularly), covering the following topics:
- VOCABULARY
- STORY / SUMMARY
- SPEAKER / VOICE
- ATTITUDES
- LANGUAGE FEATURES
- FORM / STRUCTURE
- CONTEXT
- THEMES
*This course will continue to be updated.

I am the founder of Scrbbly. I love reading and writing of all kinds, and I aim to pass this enthusiasm on to my students.
I have taught English online since 2011, and have worked as a full time private tutor and teacher for over 4 years. For the last 2 years I have taught as Head of English for an online home school, which provides live lessons for Cambridge International Examinations (CIE) students from all over the world. I am also an approved AQA examiner, qualified to mark papers in GCSE and A Level Language and Literature.
I have a great track record of boosting students’ grades very quickly, simply because I help students to become self-critical; to understand what’s good and bad about their work. Find out more about me and my background here.
