  • The poem "I REMEMBER, I REMEMBER" was written in 1954 after Larkin's visit to Coventry, his hometown. It reflects on his childhood memories, or rather, the lack thereof, sparked by the visit after a significant amount of time away. Larkin, known for his confessional style, often explores themes of loneliness, regret, and the passage of time. "I Remember, I Remember" is a prime example, using a seemingly simple form to express complex emotions about childhood and memory. The repetition of "I Remember" emphasizes the speaker's desire to recall his childhood while also highlighting the emptiness of his memories. The poem is a poignant exploration of memory and the challenges of recapturing one's past.
