Larkin is one of the best of the modern English poets. Interior focused, outwardly watchful, exalting in gin and masturbation.

One of my favourite poets. A fantastic mix of styles, funny, sad, romantic. It's all here.

Any guy who can make me lie in bed all day reading his poems is OK by me. Seriously, his poetry stops my pulse: ..."Slums, years, have buried you. I would not dare console you if I could. What can be said except that suffering is exact, but where desires take charge, readings will grow erratic? For you would hardly care that you were less deceived, out on that bed, than he was, stumbling up the breathless stair to burst into fulfillment's desolate attic." (from the poem "Deceptions" by Philip Larkin.)

of course 'they fuck you up your mum and dad' - but others are more interesting - high windows etc and some truth in the poets take on old age is a must if you have ever nursed in your life

Depressing poems about death, failure and loneliness. Highly recommended! Really beautifully written.
