Answer 3

Have a look at Carol Ann Duffy, particularly the poems "Valentine" and "In Mrs Tilscher's Class", she has just been made poet laureate.
Liz Lochhead is a contemporary Scottish poet and her poem "Revelation" is a fab poem about growing up and the loss of innocence.
Iain Crichton Smith is also good, particularly "Iolaire" about a sea disaster after WW1.
Seamus Heaney, very good. If you like Wilfred Owen have a look at Siegfreid Sassoon and for some older amazing poets try Coleridge (esp Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner) or Keats' Odes.
