Summary

One of the best-known and best-loved poets of the English-speaking world, Larkin (1922-85) had only a small number of poems published during his lifetime. "Collected Poems," which J. D. McClatchy called "a fascinating and indispensable text" in "The New York Times Book Review," brings together not only all of Larkin's published verse--"The North Ship" (1945), the pamphlet of "XX Poems" (1953), "The Less Deceived" (1955), "The Whitsun Weddings" (1964), and "High Windows" (1974)--but also a vast selection of his uncollected poetry.
