剧情简介：BBC Yorkshire documentary, Through The Lens Of Larkin, gives viewers a glimpse into the life and loves of the late poet Philip Larkin, as seen through his photographs. A new 1 x 30 minute documentary on BBC Four will explore the relationship of one of the 20th century's greatest poets, Philip Larkin with Hull, his work, his family and his lovers - all through the thousands of photographs he took, including the many 「selfies」 in his collection. Presented by poet and academic John Wedgwood Clarke (The Books That Made Britain), Through the Lens of Larkin studies some of the pictures he took of his loved ones, his adopted city, and of himself - charting his life from childhood to death. A lifelong keen amateur photographer, Larkin lavished on his pictures the same kind of care and attention and eye for detail he brought to his verse. The thousands of photographs held in Hull's History Centre give an insight into the unlikely pioneer of the selfie, a man who documented his complicated love life through photography as well as his poetry. John takes a journey through Hull and the East Riding - an area that Larkin grew to love - and meets some of the people who knew him best. He visits the poet's office and home, meeting his secretary and lover Betty Mackereth, who was the subject of one of his most beautiful and ambiguous love poems, Morning At Last: There In The Snow. John also speaks with the poet's biographer James Booth, and Richard Bradford, author of a book about Larkin's photography, as well as former curator at the Victoria and Albert Museum, Mark Haworth-Booth, and John Osborne, a founder of the Philip Larkin Society.
