false<![CDATA[Collected Poems]]>http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1171654145m/111879.jpg1118797One of the best-known and best-loved poets of the English-speaking world, Philip Larkin had only a small number of poems published during his lifetime. <i>Collected Poems</i> brings together not only all his books--<i>The North Ship</i>, <i>The Less Deceived</i>, <i>The Whitsun Weddings</i>, and <i>High Windows-</i>-but also his uncollected poems from 1940 to 1984.
This new edition reflects Larkin's own ordering for his poems and is the first collection to present the body of his work with the organization he preferred. Preserving everything he published in his lifetime, the new <i>Collected Poems</i> is an indispensable contribution to the legacy of an icon of twentieth-century poetry.8494641988Collected Poemstotal:671|5:355|4:218|3:77|2:14|1:7|67129138935854falsefalseFri Jul 20 09:23:34 -0700 2007Fri Jul 20 09:24:19 -0700 2007
When people say they don't like Larkin I wonder what the f*ck they read that they didn't like. ]]>

I work all day, and get half drunk at night.
Waking at four to soundless dark, I stare.
In time the curtain edges will grow light.
Till then I see what's really always there:
Unresting death, a whole day nearer now,
Making all thoug...more...]]>
