Yeah, his poems were even considered by some as very english and with a glum accuracy when talking about places, emotions and relationships
He was a very glum poet. He did write about romance, but it was with accuracy and truth, not romanticized.
Hi, I'm really interested in finding more about modern poets, what do you know about Larkin? He was a poet, librarian, and novelist that was born back in August 9, 1922. Ah so he would be over 90 if he was alive, what's his most famous work? I am not sure about his most famous work, but I do know that he achieved prominence in 1955 after publicating the second poem collection of his Very interesting. What do you know about The North Ship? There were 5 poems about a ship's progress northward. Sounds interesting, I guess he was before his time in modern poetry with different themes to the traditional love poetry.
His poems are marked by what Andrew Motion calls ''a very English, glum accuracy about emotions, places, and relationships'', and what Donald Davie described as ''lowered sights and diminished expectations''.
