Arrows of Desire<br />

Key Stage 3, 4, GCSE & A Level<br />

Scottish Level E, F, SG, NQs<br />

Age 11-19<br />

Curriculum Relevance<br />

• Poetry and the work of individual<br />

poets<br />

Arrows of Desire is an ambitious poetry<br />

series exploring the great diversity of<br />

English verse from the age of Chaucer to<br />

the present day. The series traces the<br />

development of English verse through the<br />

ages, giving audiences an insight into the<br />

poet’s craft. Love poems, satires, nature<br />

poems, elegies, devotional poems and<br />

comic verse are all celebrated. The poems<br />

range in level of difficulty from lower<br />

secondary to advanced study.<br />

Each short film deals with the work of a<br />

single poet, usually concentrating on just<br />

one poem, read by a contemporary poet who<br />

also comments on points of interest and<br />

gives their views.<br />

The interviews and readings are intercut<br />

with still photographs, paintings, archive<br />

film and landscapes plus all or part of the<br />

written text in typescript, or where possible,<br />

in draft manuscript.<br />
