Sunny Prestatyn by Phil Larkin The poem Sunny Prestatyn presents a bleak picture of reality against a deceiving advertising imagery in a melancholic‚ yet entertaining manner. The semantic field of sex is used throughout the poem. In the first stanza we are presented with a picture perfect holiday resort’s advertising poster‚ carefully composed around an alluring and beautiful‚ pristine girl.

What‚ in the words of Philip Larkin‚ ’will survive of us’? In the poems on our course‚ Larkin explores the nature of change and the transience of life. For this reason‚ I find his poetry thought-provoking and meaningful. He does not presume to have all the answers‚ but he does provide us with an honest and fascinating

In Philip Larkin’s collection‚ ‘The Whitsun Weddings’ and Dannie Abse’s collection ‘Welsh Retrospective’‚ both poets create a sense of place as they write about their own environments. Larkin uses a more detached observation as he uses a third person viewpoint‚ seen in ‘Here’ and ‘The Whitsun Weddings’‚ where he shows the journey of life. This differs to Abse‚ who presents a personal connection with the place and in the poems ‘Last Visit to 198 Cathedral Road’ and ‘Return to Cardiff’; Abse uses these

This however‚ definitely composes Larkin as a poet who articulates
