Praise for the poetry of Clive James
'James writes with exquisite perception and surgical precision; he is a poet of powerful argument and emotional force' The Times
'James has the primary, sine qua non gifts of a poet. He rejoices in language, and he shows enormous skill in using it' Sunday Telegraph
'Wise, witty, terrifying, unflinching and extraordinarily alive, both a great pleasure and a chill in the nerves' A. S. Byatt, Guardian
