Welcome to Private Tutors 'R' Us, where we offer a short course focused on the Edexcel Conflict Poetry anthology. Our carefully curated content will guide you through the critical reading and analysis of each poem, helping you identify themes, literary devices, and contexts that will assist you in understanding each poem's meaning and how it fits into the overarching themes of conflict.
 
In this course, we will be analysing the poem "War Photographer" by Carole Satyamurti. The poem was first published in 1985, and it explores the challenging and painful realities of war through the lens of a war photographer. The poem presents a stark contrast between the photographer's experiences of war and the everyday lives of those back home, highlighting the profound disconnect between the two worlds.
 
Through a line-by-line analysis of the poem, we will explore the themes of conflict, the dehumanisation of war, and the psychological impact of exposure to violence. Additionally, we will examine the poet's use of literary devices such as imagery, metaphor, and symbolism, and the historical and social contexts that inform the poem's meaning.
 
By the end of this course, you will have developed critical reading and analytical skills essential for success in your GCSE English Literature Poetry exam, as well as a deeper understanding of the complexities of conflict and the human experience in times of war.
