Larkin Worked All Day And Got Half-Drunk At Night

I’m grateful to literary blogger, Maud Newton, for sharing this 1964 documentary from BBC on poet Phillip Larkin, widely regarded as one of the greatest English poets of the latter half of the twentieth century.

Also from YouTube, these excellent clips of the poet reading his poems, “Water” and “Aubade”.
