Uitzenddatum: Sep 20, 2017

Through the Lens of Larkin explores the relationship of one of the 20th Century’s greatest poets, Philip Larkin with photography. It looks at the relationship between Larkin's photography and his work, family and lovers - seen through the thousands of photographs he took, including the many “selfies” in his collection. Presented by poet and academic John Wedgwood Clarke, the documentary studies some of the pictures he took of his loved ones, his adopted city, and of himself - charting his life from childhood to death.
