Philip Larking Centenary

     On the centenary of the birth of the poet Philip Larkin, just a short post to share this wonderful clip of Sir John Betjeman talking to Larkin for the BBC arts programme Monitor in 1964. Betjeman's reading of 'Here' is just superb. Larkin (1922-1985) is a poet I have warmed to more over the years. Anyway, enjoy before he's cancelled.
