Larkin’s father died on 26 March 1948. A week the following Sunday it snowed in Warwick. This beautiful elegy was never printed in the poet’s lifetime and yet, arguably, it is his first great poem.

Twitter is mostly people shouting at each other. Bluesky appears populated by academics huddling together for solace and safety, talking to themselves ( but not much to each other...)

🎉 Our Oxford Handbook, currently being copyedited by the incomparable @rowenamezzo who I hope will eat champagne-dipped strawberries throughout.
