The Dance - November 2001
Chosen by Marianne Cotugno
'The Dance' is my favorite poem (though I believe it's considered unfinished). I came across the poem some years ago in a collection, and at the beginning of my graduate career, the poem captured many of the notions I had about academia, as well as some of my own romantic frustrations.
I believe that Larkin has been a much maligned and under appreciated writer. I would love to pursue his work in a more scholarly way, but for now, reading some poems before bedtime is a great pleasure.
