Love and Death in Hull
The power of Philip Larkin's poems stem from making the mundane magnificent, imbuing the everyday world with emotion and feeling. But as Channel 4's profile shows, he was an outsider, a voyeur terrified of entanglement which would get in the way of his writing.
This site places Larkin in a wider poetic context and delves further into his bleak and dark mindset, framed by his parent's drab and miserable life, and his oppressive ever-present awareness of death.
