For the first time, Faber publish a selection from the poetry of Philip Larkin. Drawing on Larkin's four collections and on his uncollected poems. Chosen by Martin Amis. 'Many poets make us smile; how many poets make us laugh - or, in that curious phrase, "laugh out loud" (as if there's another way of doing it)? Who else uses an essentially conversational idiom to achieve such a variety of emotional effects? Who else takes us, and takes us so often, from sunlit levity to mellifluous gloom?... Larkin, often, is more than memorable: he is instantly unforgettable.' - Martin Amis

"This volume contains supplementary genealogical material that fills some gaps in the 1915 memoir and extends to 1962 information about many of the descendants of Simon Huntington and his wife Margaret Barret (or Baret as it is spelled in the 1915 book)"--Preface (p. [5]). This supplement 1 includes the history of the Huntington Family Association since its creation in 1857, and the history of the reunions. The reunions were all held in Norwich, Connecticut except in 1954, when Chicago was the meeting place. The Huntington family members in the far west hold separate reunions since about 1949
In Philip Larkin’s Poetics István D. Rácz offers a reading of Larkin’s credo that systematically discusses the links between his principles and practice – a discussion notably absent up to now from the many studies of this outstanding post-1945 British poet. While Larkin claimed that his poetry did not need any explication, Rácz argues that a careful reading reveals a coherent poetics. This thoroughgoing discussion of the oeuvre provides ample evidence that Larkin’s poetry of interacting opposites creates a logically organized system based on principles to be found in his poetics.
