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 />
