I know what you are talking about. You're doing English GCSE, right? I had to do that, with an Anthology and everything, but, I didn't do Seamus Heaney and Gillian Clarke, I did Carol-Ann Duffy, and some other guy.
Anyway, I don't think they mind, as long as the schools are buying their poetry, and they are getting money for it, I don't think they mind that much.

Um ... no. But if you know Seamus Heaney you MUST know that a feadog is a 'penny whistle'.
Anyway, I think that Seamus Heaney and Gillian Clarke, both, are quite happy with fifteen year olds' criticism. Just so long as there is a colloquy. There is no use at all in criticism if the one criticised is denied the chance to discuss. By the time a person reaches the age of 15, they are (or should be) able to think about things at an adult level. We are not talking about maturity here, but about the ability to become mature - and I think that most 15 year olds have that capability.

Good writers appreciate constructive criticism. They hope that you have read their works carefully and critically. They may be impressed that you are very young and looking at their works with a
critical eye.
