Larkin was born 9 August 1922 in Coventry, England. Bad eyes kept him out of World War II. He became a university librarian. While having a reputation for being glum, he managed to have attracted several women romantically in his life.
I post his reading of "Cut Grass", because I managed to mow my yard before teachers reported to my school. Whether Larkin cut his own grass, assuming that he had any, I cannot say.
