THE PHILIP LARKIN SOCIETYSince The Philip Larkin Society was founded in 1995, ten years after the poet’s death, it has become a national and international focus for lovers of his writings.The Society, a registered charity, provides a forum for the discussion of all aspects of Larkin’s work: as poet, novelist, jazz critic and librarian. Our lively, illustrated Journal, About Larkin, mingles reviews and commentaries on the Society’s activities with articles of a more substantial literary nature. Our podcast Tiny In All That Air has featured some of the world’s leading scholars on Larkin and his contemporaries, such as Professor James Booth and Professor Zachary Leader, but also hosts Larkin chat with writers and artists, PLS committee members, honorary vice presidents and, of course, the members themselves. We are always looking for new and creative ways to promote knowledge and understanding of Philip Larkin and to get as many people as possible involved from Hull to all around the world.WHAT ARE OUR AIMS?To promote the public knowledge and appreciation of the works of Philip Larkin (1922-1985) and his literary contemporariesTo bring together all those who admire Larkin’s work as poet, novelist, jazz critic and librarianTo bring about publications on all things LarkinesqueWHAT DO WE DO?Online and in person events such as conferences, readings, and talks about all aspects of Larkin’s lifeOnline members social eventsAbout Larkin Journal, published twice a year in April and OctoberA regular e-newsletterA member of the Alliance of Literary SocietiesTwitter, YouTube and Instagram channels
