Booth's focus is on Larkin's artistry with words, the 'verbal devices' through which this purest of lyric poets celebrates 'the experience. The beauty.' Featuring discussion for the first time of two recently discovered poems by Larkin, this original and exciting new study will be of interest to all students, scholars and enthusiasts of Larkin.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eJAMES BOOTH is Professor of English at the University of Hull, UK.
