Welcome New Bloggers!

Welcome to the new generation of bloggers recording their thoughts and reactions to Larkin's poems. I hope you will read each others' posts and comment on them if you find them useful or have anything you want to add.  You might even want to offer alternative opinions and interpretations on theirs.  After all this is exaclty what AO3(ii) is all about - being aware of other readers' interpretations!
First - here is the link to the 1960s programme about Larkin "Down Cemetery Road" which you have doodled about...

Next is a documentary made more recently about Larkin which offers a contemporary perspective on Larkin after his death...

and finally, here are some videos of Larkin reading his own poems.  You might want to add these to your own posts:

Dannie Abse reading his poems

Dannie Abse has read some of his poems out loud for  Jewish Renaissance.
The first poem, Case History, expresses his identity as a Jew, as a Welshman and as a doctor. It is followed by Car Journeys down the M4, Cousin Sidney and My Neighbour Itzik.
A new edition of Dannie Abse’s selected poems Dannie Abse: New Selected Poems 2009 was published by Hutchinson to mark the 60th anniversary of the publication of his first anthology in 1949.
