As an accompaniment to ‘Home Is So Sad’ the first ever Philip Larkin Exhibition to be held at Beverley Art Gallery, join local poets and writers Vicky Foster and Chris Sewart, together with the Mechanicals Band from Larkin’s home city of Coventry, in a creative look at Larkin’s poetic legacy.
The whole evening is ‘a joyous shot at how things ought to be’, a line taken from Larkin’s poem ‘Home is so Sad’, but this time daring to be optimistic!
Chis Sewart lives in Beverley and is a creative writer and poet. In 2019, he won the Philip Larkin Poetry Prize at the East Riding Festival of Words for his poem, ‘Fencing Project’ and in 2022 won the Adult Gold Prize for ‘Peak District – June 1995’.
