Clive James "Sentenced For Life" (Picador)





Your review .His delicate use of the English language is inspiring. Each one of these poems would take an entire volume if it was prose. If your poetry has to rhyme and be amusing then this isn't for you. If you want an insight into the state of human life, from a man who knows that we all fail one way or another, then this is for you. Poignant, engaging and truth to experience in every line . This moving collection is , in many respects, a painful emotional read , yet, at one and the same time , strangely comforting too . Lyrical with beautiful and memorable imagery , these are poems you will return to time and time over . A triumph

People don't always realise what a great poet Clive James is!

He worked with the singer, Pete Atkin, back in the day and some of their stuff is amazing!
