Title: Prufrock
Review: The poetry explores themes of love, loss, loneliness, death, aging, and everything in between. Larkin unashamedly uses rhymes and iambic pentameters in modern times when these structures are considered out-dated and gauche. However, they only draw the reader deeper in the (deceptively) easy lines of the poems, lines which once you read, you could not shake off for the rest of your life.Larkin hasn't been the most prolific writer and what he writes is usually short, terse poems. He's bitter, selfish, and trapped in his own world but yet he is like Prufrock, the readers grow to love him, to empathize with him.The poems, arranged in chronological order, shows Larkin's progression as a poet.
