Our audio study guide on the OCR Love and Relationships Poetry Anthology for GCSE English Literature provides both readings of the poems and an extensive analysis of each.

The tutorials have been designed to help develop a range of skills, such as analysing language, making comparisons and inferring meaning and ideas. There are also bonus chapters on unseen poetry and how to plan your answers for the exams. The series has been written by Rebecca Kleanthous, who is both an experienced teacher and a specialist poetry examiner.
