Philip Larkin (1922-1985) was the best-loved poet of his
generation, and the recipient of innumerable honours, including the
Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry, and the W H Smith Award. In Larkin
at Sixty, a tribute to him on his sixtieth birthday, twenty writers
came together to celebrate the man and the poet with specially
written pieces. Some of them are reminiscences, some look at
aspects of his professional life as librarian, some consider his
taste as it revealed itself in his writings on jazz and in his
editing of the Oxford Book of Twentieth Century English Verse. The
relationship between his novels and his poems is examined, and
several essays explore the poems themselves. Three poets contribute
hitherto unpublished poems. Together, all these illuminate with
affection and insight the work, the man behind the work, and the
appeal of both. The editor, Anthony Thwaite, edited Larkin's
Collected Poems, Selected Letters and Further Requirements, and
became one of Larkin's chosen literary executors
