In this new collection of "technically and emotionally
heart-stopping poems" (Spectator)-including "Japanese Maple," which
was published in The New Yorker to great acclaim-Clive James looks
back over an extraordinarily rich life with a clear-eyed and
unflinching honesty. There are regrets but no trace of self-pity in
these verses, which-for all their grappling with death and his
current illness-are primarily a celebration of what is treasurable
and memorable in our time here. Again and again, James reminds us
that he is not only a poet of effortless wit and lyric
accomplishment but also an immensely wise one, who delights in
using poetic form to bring a razor-sharp focus to his thought.
Miraculously, these poems see James writing with his insight and
energy not only undiminished but positively charged by his
situation. The poems of Sentenced to Life represents a career high
point from one of the greatest literary intellects of our age.
