Here he reads his poetry and reflects on his deepening interest in the world of Larkin.  https://festivalofwords.co.uk/poetry-comp/  Larkin poems discussed: Sunny Prestatyn, The North Ship, This Be The Verse, The Winter Palace, The Mower, Talking In Bed.  Also discussed: Short and Sweet 101 Very Short Poems ed by Simon Armitage (Faber&amp;Faber).  Presented by Lyn Lockwood.
