The βtechnically and emotionally heart-stopping poemsβ ( Spectator**) of Clive James are collected in this decades-spanning volume.**
The poetry of Clive James has been delighting readers and winning awards for decades. His recent poems looking back over his extraordinarily rich life have brought him an even wider readership; some, such as βJapanese Mapleβ (first published in The New Yorker ), became global news events upon their publication. In this first collected volume of poetry, James makes his own selection from over fifty yearsβ work in verse: from his early satires to his late poems of valediction, he proves himself to be as well-suited to the intense demands of the short lyric as to those of the comic excursion. Collected Poems places Jamesβs effortless fluency, his breath-taking thematic range, and his emotional power on full displayβand will burnish his reputation as one of the most accomplished of our contemporary poets. **
