High Windows
High Windows is a collection of poems by English poet Philip Larkin, and was published in 1974 by Faber and Faber Limited. The paperback version was first published in Britain in 1979. The collection is the last publication of new poetry by Larkin before his death in 1985, and it contains some of his most famous poems, including the title piece, "High Windows", "Dublinesque", and "This Be The Verse". The collection contains themes presented in his earlier collections, though the tone of the poems caused critics to suggest the book is darker and more "socially engaged" than his earlier volumes.
It is currently on the AQA AS/A2 level English Literature syllabus.
