… The TLS blog: Oh Hull. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

… a Redpath poem did receive a little belated recognition last week: it appeared in the TLS as a previously unpublished poem by Philip Larkin. That’s right: contrary to what we and the Larkin scholars who inspected it believed, “In and Out” isn’t by Larkin, after all. Yet it seemed so perfectly (too perfectly?) Larkinesque. And as Tom Cook wrote in last week’s issue, it ended up as two halves of loose typescript tucked into one of Larkin's archived workbooks at the University of Hull.
