Synopsis

Verse with all the invention of Clive James' prose style, combined with a sense of rhythm, cadence and memorable form that is equally and entirely his own. Following the publication of his 1986 collection, "Other Passports", he has emerged as a prominent poet of his generation, going to publish new works in such mainstream outlets as the TLS, the London Review of Books, the Spectator, the New Yorker and the Australian Book Review, culminating in this updated collection.
