Tuesday August 10, 2004
from The Scotsman:
“Unpublished Larkin poem ‘Written in Grotty Bedsit’”
from BBC News:
“Haul of rare Larkin poems found”
Heretofore unpublished poems by Philip Larkin have been discovered in England, including a quite moving elegy to his father, about whom he famously wrote “They fuck you up, your mum and dad...” The newly discovered poem, “And Yet,” is a brief & eloquent meditation on life & death.
