A summer of Larkin

The major biographic exhibition ‘Larkin: New Eyes Each Year’  at the University of Hull’s Brynmor Jones Library  is now open and is already generating an enormous amount of interest from press and public alike .

The exhibition, curated by Anna Farthing and designed by Craig Oldham, offers exciting new insights into Larkin’s life, drawing on some never before seen or heard items from the vast Larkin Archive housed at Hull History Centre, including images, sounds and physical artefacts.

It is a not-to-be-missed opportunity for any Larkin afficionado and is already proving to be a real highlight in Hull’s year as the UK City of Culture.
