In his insightful collection of poems 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 open dealings with death and 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: he is 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: Sentenced to Life represents a
career high point from one of the greatest literary intelligences
of the age. His other poetry collections include Collected Poems,
Angels Over Elsinore and Injury Time.
