It would be harder to memorize Geoffrey Hill. His reading is a wonder.

Larkin made misery beautiful. He is the end of the line of the great poets Yeats/Eliott/Auden/Larkin who people learned by heart.

PS - 30 years ago I bought a record album called The Poet Speaks from the bargin bin at a local store. The poets were all English and Larkin the one I most enjoyed. I treasure that album but until today I had never heard Larkin read any other poems than the ones on that record. So this is good news!

I love listening to Larkin read and am pleased to learn of this discovery. I enjoyed seeing the old audio equipment in the workshop and found the news story interesting. But I would like to know who the commentators were. I wonder if any of them were prominent figures who knew Larkin.

Thanks for putting this up. I agree with others it's an awful piece of 'journalism' for the most part though. Both tapes have been put on a cd by Faber/Faber and released as "The Sunday Sessions" now, so we can listen without bizarre editorial interruptions.

I thought that was strange too. It gave me the impression of a Larkin kept alive on some mechanical assistance and haunting the sites of his poems.

Definitely one of the greatest poets of the 20th C.... wonderful to hear him recite his own poems. Appalling news piece by Sky News though!!! Plonking a reel-to-reel recorder next to a cow just because the poem mentions cattle... I suppose we should just be grateful that they covered the story in the first place.
