<p><b>The publication of Clive James's <i>Sentenced to Life</i> was a major literary event. Facing the end, James looked back over his life with a clear-eyed and unflinching honesty to produce his finest work: poems of extraordinary power that spoke to our most elemental emotions.
<i>Injury Time </i>is its outstanding successor.<br><br>'James's confrontation with his approaching death is nothing short of inspirational' – Joan Bakewell, <i>Independent</i></b><br><br>With more time on the clock than he had anticipated, Clive James was all the more determined to use it wisely – to capture the treasurable moment, and think about how best to live his remaining days – while the sense of his own impending absence grew all the more powerfully acute.
<br><br>In a series of intimate poems – from childhood memories of his mother, to a vision of his granddaughter in graceful acrobatic flight – James declares 'family' to be our greatest blessing. He also writes beautifully of the Australia where he began his life, and where he hopes to 'reach the end'.
<br><br>Throughout <i>Injury Time</i>, James weaves poems which reflect on the consolation and wisdom to be found in the art, music and books which have become ever more precious to him in his last years.<br><br><b>Moving, inspirational and unsentimental, <i>Injury Time</i> is as accomplished as any of his works; even at the end, he was in the form of his life.<br><br>Clive James </b>(1939–2019) was a broadcaster, critic, poet, memoirist and novelist.
His acclaimed poetry includes the collection <i>Sentenced to Life</i> and a translation of Dante's <i>The Divine Comedy</i>, both <i>Sunday Times</i> bestsellers. His passion for and knowledge of poetry are distilled in his book of criticism on the subject, <i>Poetry Notebook</i>, and, written in the last year of his life, his personal annotated anthology of favourite poems, <i>The Fire Of Joy</i>.
<br><br><b>Praise for Clive James:<br><br>'He will be seen, I think, as one of the most important and influential writers of our time' – Bryan Appleyard, <i>Sunday Times</i><br><br>'Wise, witty, terrifying, unflinching and extraordinarily alive' – A.S.
