Philip Larkin’s Poetry: Themes, Form, Style, Imagery and Symbolism
he does not wait anything of the life.
His acid tone, bitter and slightly sardonic vision of the life that he displays to us
in his work is a reality slap. He scorns the “literary life” and also the things that
normally soften everybody: the romantic love, the memories of the childhood, the
nature, etc.
Surprises the expanded of a the controversy that continues dividing the waters
between those who admire it and who detracting it, often protected by the divergent
readings that are made about his work, even so it is undeniable that we are in front of
one of the maximum poetic referents of our era, that it has reached to millions of people
without pretentions, nor trimmings whose direct language identification foul language
work continues surprising today and whose declining vision and displeases demanded
changes is a vision with which we can still felt identified nowadays.
