How to Read Philip Larkin
Analyses of four poems about time and change by the midcentury poet Philip Larkin. In \u201cChurch Going,\u201d \u201cAn Arundel Tomb,\u201d \u201cThe Trees,\u201d and \u201cThis be the Verse,\u201d there\u2019s a sense of continuity tinged with melancholy: things survive and renew, but always in a compromised form.
