Come To Sunny Prestatyn. Laughed the girl on the poster, Kneeling up on the sand In tautened white satin. Behind her, a hunk of coast, a. Hotel with palms. Seemed to expand from her thighs and Spread breast-lifting arms. She was slapped up one day in March. A couple of weeks, and her face. Was snaggle-toothed and boss-eyed; Huge tits and a fissured crotch. Were scored well in, and the space.Essential Beauty: There is a strong link between the two poems in that they both discuss the role of advertising in society, and the way it presents a warped and ideological view of reality.The sexualised woman and “hunk of coast” are both features of an apparently infernally “sunny” Prestatyn, such an unrealistic portrayal of the location that it evokes a violent anger in some members.The poem describes the sunny features of an advertising billboard for holidaying in Prestatyn, guiding our eyes across the woman within the poster.

The poems Sunny Prestatyn, Essential Beauty and love Songs in Age, are all presented with the theme of illusion and reality. Illusion is a false impression or delusion, so when an illusion is used within a poem there is a deeper meaning or reality behind the words. Because of this reality, the reader can see what Larkin is really trying to convey in the poems is shown and we understand what.
