Hardback. Zustand: Good. One of the best-known and best-loved poets of the English-speaking world, Philip Larkin had only a small number of poems published during his lifetime. Collected Poems brings together not only all his books--The North Ship, The Less Deceived, The Whitsun Weddings, and High Windows--but also his uncollected poems from 1940 to 1984. This new edition reflects Larkin's own ordering for his poems and is the first collection to present the body of his work with the organization he preferred. Preserving everything he published in his lifetime, the new Collected Poems is an indispensable contribution to the legacy of an icon of twentieth-century poetry.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. Third printing, 1989. Edited with an Introduction by Anthony Thwaite. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "On Philip Larkin's death in 1985, Ian Hamilton wrote in The (London) Times: 'More often than any other English poet since the war, Larkin gave us lines that it is unlikely we'll be able to forget.' Though widely appreciated and well known in America, most of Larkin's poetry has been unavailable here for many years. With this volume, all of his published poetry is brought together: The North Ship (1945), the pamphlet of XX Poems (1953), The Less Deceived (1955), The Whitsun Weddings (1964), and his final book, High Windows (1974). In addition, many poems are published here for the first time. There is a substantial selection of early poems, written from his middle teens to the publication of his first book at twenty-three, and several previously uncollected poems of his maturity, among them the few he completed and left unpublished after High Windows. [] Anthony Thwaite, the English poet and critic, has based the whole edition on the carefully preserved and dated notebooks and typescripts left by Larkin. An appendix lists, in the order Larkin assigned to them, the content of each of the books and pamphlets published in his lifetime, together with the order of contents of Larkin's collection In the Grip of Light, which he attempted to publish in 1947. As Thwaite observes: 'Taken together, the poems show the growth of a great poet, testing, filtering, rejecting, modulating, achieving.'" [jacket copy] "Thwaite has gathered all the poems Larkin wrote between 1946 and 1985, the year of his death; he also includes a generous selection of work written earlier, before Larkin found his characteristic voice. In all, there are some 240 poems, 83 of them never published before. The unpublished work comes from every period of Larkin's career and increases by half the number of poems in his canon. The poet we now have is considerably more prolific than the one who issued only three small, mature collections in his lifetime. With or without the new poems, Larkin is a major postwar British writer, and this is the best available collection of his poetry."--Library Journal. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in a NF jacket covered in archival mylar. Quite presentable.…
