New York times, June 18, 2015: Arts section, page C3 ("A place in Poets' Corner for Philip Larkin," The British poet Philip Larkin (1922-1985) -- a malcontent with a reclusive streak and an acid take on his own success -- will receive a jolt of posthumous recognition when Westminster Abbey adds a memorial stone in his honor to its Poets' Corner, a site featuring tributes to 67 (soon to be 68) of the leading writers in the English language. The Dean of Westminster, the Very Rev. Dr. John Hall, announced the commemoration plans at the office at the University of Hull, where Larkin worked as a librarian for three decades.)
