Double Larkin

July 14th, 2009 by Steve Bowbrick

A really lovely Sunday Feature in which poets Paul Farley and Kate Royal retrace the journey taken in Larkin's The Whitsun Weddings and an equally lovely Archive Hour (also presented by Paul Farley) about the discovery of a box of lost tapes of Larkin reading his own verse. Adding up to a slice of melancholy beauty the like of which you will not hear anywhere else this week. True.
