LARKIN 25 - ANOTHER LOOK AT LARKIN
Next year the city of Hull will lead the celebrations of the man who is its most famous (adopted) son.
"Larkin 25 - Another Look at Larkin" will celebrate and commemorate the life and work of the poet Philip Larkin with a series of events pivoting on the 25th anniversary of his death on 2 December 2010 highlighting the attractions of "Larkin country".
To coincide Faber will publish Larkin's Letters to Monica.
Larkin spent most of his adult life with Monica Jones, a professor of English, whom he met when he was 24.
