About This Item
London: faber & faber, 1988 9780571097104. Softcover. VG. No DW as published, No annotations or inscriptions etc. 46 pages. A collection of poems from a "tenderly observant" poet who writes about what all of us can understand. The title poem describes the poet's journey by train from Hull to London, using the tones and rhythms of ordinary speech and focusing on the urban landscape of the industrial north. Philip Larkin (1922-1985) remains one of England's best-loved poets - a writer matchlessly capable of evoking his native land and of touching all readers from the most sophisticated intellectual to the proverbial common reader. The late John Betjeman observed that 'this tenderly observant poet writes clearly, rhythmically, and thoughtfully about what all of us can understand'. Behind this modest description lies a poet who made greatness look deceptively simple. .
