Have you ever read any of Philip Larken's poetry? Like "The North Ship", which was his first book of poetry published?
No, I don't read much potery. What does he usually write about?
He writes a lot about emotions and relationships, from a very glum point of view.
Like suicide and death? 
It is possible, but I'm not sure the details. I do know that he received the Queen's Gold Medal for Poetry.
