Mr Larkin

For a number of years now I have been meaning to look into the work of the poet Philip Larkin. I really like the dry wit of some of his poems and the fact that he was a librarian at Hull University makes for a sense of familiarity as well. That famous poem about parents and the way they bring up their children is, of course, a winner. But I would like to get to know some more of his poems. A project for the summer..
