PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Philip Larkin (1922-1985) was the best-loved poet of his generation, and the recipient of innumerable honours.
"""More often than any other English poet since the war, Larkin gave us lines that it is unlikely we'll be able to forget."" --Ian Hamilton, ""The Times ""(London) ""Larkin is resolute, forthright, witty, and gloomy. This is the man who famously said that deprivation was for him what daffodils were for Wordsworth. Yet surely the results of this life, in the shape of his poems, are gifts, not deprivations."" --Donald Hall, ""The New Criterion"""
