SECTION A
Post‑2000 Specified Poetry
Stillwater Cove
It seemed a furtive magic—
sun ricocheting off cresting waves near
Stillwater Cove, the soft rock cliffs
of sandstone and clay, the wind‑tilted
cypress trees leaning toward
the blue Pacific—and it was only you
who’d see them
...
We’d whine that we never
caught a glimpse of a slick back or tail slap,
nary a spy‑hopping head raised
above the swirling surface
...
It was your trick, always a whale
as soon as our heads went down
...
Distracted
by the evidence of life at our feet,
we had no time for the waiting
that was required
...
Now, I am
in the inland air that smells of smoke
and gasoline, the trees blown leafless by
wind
...
He’d arrive with it, disappear to the room
And by the time he’d reappear to wash
Those nosy, rosy, big, soft hands of his
In the scullery basin, its lined insides
(The colour of a spaniel’s inside lug)
Were empty for all to see, the trap‑sprung mouth
Unsnibbed and gaping wide
...
Until the next time came and in he’d come
In his fur‑lined collar that was also spaniel‑coloured
And go stooping up to the room again, a whiff
Of disinfectant, a Dutch interior gleam
Of waistcoat satin and highlights on the forceps
...
At which point he once turned his eyes upon me,
Hyperborean, beyond‑the‑north‑wind blue,
Two peepholes to the locked room I saw into
Every time his name was mentioned, skimmed
Milk and ice, swabbed porcelain, the white
And chill of tiles, steel hooks, chrome surgery tools
And blood dreeps in the sawdust where it thickened
At the foot of each cold wall
...

Poeta doctus Peter Levi says
Sanctuaries of Asclepius (called asclepions)
Were the equivalent of hospitals
In ancient Greece
...
Or of the cure
By poetry that cannot be coerced,
Say I, who realized at Epidaurus
That the whole place was a sanatorium
With theatre and gymnasium and baths,
A site of incubation, where ‘incubation’
Was technical and ritual, meaning sleep
When epiphany occurred and you met the god
...
And then as he dipped and laved
In the generous suds again, miraculum:
The baby bits all came together swimming
Into his soapy big hygienic hands
And I myself came to, blinded with sweat,
Blinking and shaky in the windless light
...
I didn’t want
To leave the place or link up with the others
...
I wanted nothing more than to lie down
Under hogweed, under seeded grass
And to be visited in the very eye of the day
By Hygeia, his daughter, her name still clarifying
The haven of light she was, the undarkening door
...
Me at the bedside, incubating for real,
Peering, appearing to her as she closes
And opens her eyes, then lapses back
Into a faraway smile whose precinct of vision
I would enter every time, to assist and be asked
In that hoarsened whisper of triumph,
‘And what do you think
Of the new wee baby the doctor brought for us all
When I was asleep?’

From the Journal of a Disappointed Man
I discovered these men driving a new pile
into the pier
...
Everything else was in the massive style
as well, even the men; very powerful men;
very ruminative and silent men ignoring me
...
Nevertheless, by paying close attention
to the obscure movements of one working
on a ladder by the water’s edge, I could tell
that for all their strength and experience
these men were up against a great difficulty
...
Every one of the monsters
was silent on the subject – baffled I thought
at first, but then I realised indifferent
and tired, so tired of the whole business
...
I should say I watched them at least an hour
and, to do the men justice, their slow efforts
to overcome the secret problem did continue –
then gradually slackened and finally ceased
...
No one spoke; no one said what they saw;
though one fellow did spit, and with round eyes
followed the trajectory of his brown bolus
(he had been chewing tobacco)
on its slow descent into the same depths
...
Afterwards, and with a heavy kind of majesty,
he turned on his heel and walked away
...
First in ones and twos,
then altogether, the men followed
...

Examiners must mark the
last candidate in exactly the same way as they mark the first
...
Candidates must be rewarded
for what they have shown they can do rather than penalised for omissions
...
All the marks on the mark scheme are designed to be awarded
...
e
...
Examiners should also be prepared to award zero marks if
the candidate’s response is not worthy of credit according to the mark
scheme
...
When examiners are in doubt regarding the application of the mark
scheme to a candidate’s response, a senior examiner must be consulted
before a mark is given
...
Marking guidance - specific
The marking grids have been designed to assess student work holistically
...
One bullet point is linked to one Assessment Objective; however,
please note that the number of bullet points in the level descriptor does not directly
correlate to the number of marks in the level descriptor
...
When using a levels-based mark scheme,
the ‘best fit’ approach should be used: Examiners should first decide which descriptor
most closely matches the answer and place it in that level
...
Candidates will
be placed in the level that best describes their answer according to each of the
3
•

•
Assessment Objectives described in the level
...
They must consider this when
making their judgements
the mark grid identifies which Assessment Objective is being targeted by each
bullet point within the level descriptors
indicative content is exactly that – they are factual points that candidates are
likely to use to construct their answer
...
It is the examiner’s responsibility to apply their
professional judgement to the candidate’s response in determining if the answer
fulfils the requirements of the question
