Philip Larkin

To mark 100 years since the birth of one of the nation's favourite poets [9th August 1922], Daljit Nagra revisits the BBC's poetry archive and selects Poetry Please - Philip Larkin.

When this programme first broadcast, Hull was named as 2017's European Capital of Culture. Roger McGough is joined by poets Sean O'Brien, Douglas Dunn and Paul Farley to celebrate the city's most famous librarian, Philip Larkin.

Producer Sally Heaven.

First broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in 2017.
