Further Requirements gathers interviews, broadcasts, statements, and reviews that collectively offer a surprising portrait of Philip Larkin: mordant, modest, intolerant, and generous-but always himself.

" . . . reveals a deadpan humour and intuitive intelligence tempered by genuine modesty . . . cannot fail to appeal to those with a passion for poetry."
--Joanna Hunter, The Observer

" . . . good writing, unfussy and unadorned-seeming; but with the impression that [Larkin] has worked hard at every sentence. Even his responses in interviews suggest a mind taking its time to get the words just right."
--Nicholas Lezard, The Guardian

"It is a treat to encounter once more those splendidly grouchy tones. . . . Larkin's insights into himself are spot-on."
--The Independent

" . . . impeccably edited . . . hugely readable . . . provides solid confirmation of Larkin's stature. Austere? No, thank goodness, though he had his austerities. But a classic? Undoubtedly."
--The Daily Telegraph
