Book Synopsis
“Clive James is more or less the only living poet who manages to be both entertaining and moving.”—Edward Mendelson

Trade Review
"Mr. James is a canny poet as well as a critic and memoirist, and this elegiac book finds him confronting illness and old age with vigor and salty wit. When he writes about a dead friend, ‘Your poems were the condensation trails/Of a bright mind’s steady rush of soaring power,’ he could be speaking of this very volume." -- Dwight Garner - The New York Times
