| Publisher Description: "Larkin's writing maps out and conceptually creates a scarce, minimally legible layer, and does so as a form of adoration or communion - the presence of scarcity makes its opposite, creative plenitude, come as close as possible." --Edmund Hardy
"Larkin indicates how one can only pay tribute to the rarity and uniqueness of the scarce by not appropriating it in a fraudulent poetic equivalence of pseudo-poverty, but rather by asymptotically approaching it, with genuine humility, from ever new angles." --John Milbank |
Contributor Bio(s): Larkin, Peter: - Peter Larkin was born in the New Forest and has spent most of his life either haunted by trees or the gaps (heathland or urban) between them. From an Anglo-French background, his work has been influenced as much by post-war French poetry as it has been by American Modernism. For much of his career he was Philosophy & Literature Librarian at Warwick University. |
