Thanks, Janice, for posting this, and thanks, Adam and Bill, for the kind remarks. I was very pleased that my Larkin piece appeared in such fine company - the excellent essays by Bill Coyle and John Drexel and the very moving one by Rachel Wetzsteon, made even more touching by the fact that it appeared after her death. "Larkin and Happiness" - a topic that might seem perverse but which she shows not to be so at all.
