Philip Larkin Prof Mary Beard, Tara Fitzgerald, Patrick Kennedy & Owen McDonnell, Dir Shevaun Wilder

The Josephine Hart Poetry Foundation is delighted to celebrate poet Philip Larkin’s Centenary as an official partner of National Poetry Day, and in association with The Philip Larkin Society, at The British Library.
Josephine Hart wrote of the first time she presented her Larkin Poetry Hour :
“In 1984 I approached Philip Larkin to request permission to present an evening of his poetry read by Alan Bates. Though warned by his old friend Kingsley Amis, ‘Oh dear, no, Josephine, Philip won’t like this at all,’ I persevered. Mr. Larkin said yes.”
Professor Mary Beard is joined by Tara Fitzgerald ('After Love', 'Game of Thrones'), Patrick Kennedy (The Queen's Gambit, Miss Marx) and Owen McDonnell (Killing Eve, The Holiday) for this great poet’s 100th Anniversary Year.
“What will survive of us is love.” 'An Arundel Tomb’ (1956)
