Description: "More than any other English poet since the war, Larkin gave us lines that it is unlikely we'll be able to forget."--Ian Hamilton, The Times (London) "[The poems are arranged] chronologically, [with] uncollected work mingling with collected and dates of completion printed under each poem. There are many revelations as a result--one sees how productive certain years were, how certain themes cluster together, and how certain images from abandoned poems were rescued later on."--Blake Morrison, The Times Literary Supplement "A book that everyone interested in poetry will value. It confirms, for those who need confirmation, that Larkin is our most accomplished and memorable poet of the common places of experience."--Alan Shapiro, Chicago Tribune
