| Philip Larkin, High Windows (Faber, 1974) Larkin, the celebrated librarian-poet, got somewhat cranky in his middle age. He also got more experimental, both qualities that make for fine poetry. Add to these scurrilousness, a wicked sense of humor, and an ear for rhythm matched only in the modern world's finest poets, and you have a recipe for greatness. So why doesn't Larkin always pull it off? Good question. When he's on, he's very, very on, but when he's off, it's a mess. Unlike ... Read More: |

| Anyone familar with Larkin's poetry will want to read this book of essays on literature and jazz. In it he demonstrates the same humor, common-sense, and intelligence that can be found in his poetry. His strong preference is for poets who are not deliberately obscure or difficult. Indeed, at times Larkin can sound almost anti-intellectual. This is misleading; he is very serious about his art. In this collection, he shows great insight into the works of other 20th Century British poets. His essays on jazz ... Read More: |

| This is one of the two novels written by British poet Philip Larkin (1922-1985). Originally written in 1946, it tells the story of Kemp, a working class boy from the north of England arriving to study in Oxford during World War II. Socially awkward, his roommate is an upper classmen who disdains Kemp but allows him to be around him as a hanger on, as a human pet he can mock along with his friends. Though Larkin has said this was not an autobiography, it shares with many of them written by authors the story of a youth ... Read More: |

| This is a bad anthology to introduce someone to 20.c. poetry; the selections of many important poets are both too idiosyncratic and too meagre. Besides, the first half of the book includes lots of vaguely interesting doggerel of questionable poetic value.
On the other hand, there are several things to be said for it. The first is that Larkin put in a lot of good stuff that is not usually anthologised. Among the inspired selections are Auden's "No Change of Place", "Brussels in Winter" and "Goodbye to the Mezzogiorno"; ... Read More: |
