Clive James's reputation as a poet has become impossible to ignore.
His poems looking back over his extraordinarily rich life with a
clear-eyed and unflinching honesty, such as 'Japanese Maple' (first
published in the New Yorker in 2014), became global news events
upon their publication. In this book, James makes his own rich
selection from over fifty years' work in verse: from his early
satires to these heart-stopping valedictory poems, he proves
himself to be as well suited to the intense demands of the tight
lyric as he is to the longer mock-epic. Collected Poems displays
James's fluency and apparently effortless style, his technical
skill and thematic scope, his lightly worn erudition and his
emotional power; it undoubtedly cements his reputation as one of
the most versatile and accomplished writers.
