Nice! This is the first collection I've read from Larkin. I found his poetry is a little too "classic" for my taste, but I really liked several of the poems in this collection ("The Trees", "The Old Fools", "The Building", "This Be The Verse", "Solar", "Vers de Societe", to name a few). Death and decay and the fear thereof are at the center of this book. Curious to read more of Larkin's poetry now.
