Clive James (1939—2019), author of the best-selling Cultural Amnesia and Poetry Notebook, was an Officer of the Order of Australia and a Commander of the Order of the British Empire. His writing appeared in the New York Times Book Review, The New Yorker, and The Atlantic.
"Mr. James is a canny poet as well as a critic and memoirist, and
this elegiac book finds him confronting illness and old age with
vigor and salty wit. When he writes about a dead friend, ‘Your
poems were the condensation trails/Of a bright mind’s steady rush
of soaring power,’ he could be speaking of this very volume."
*Dwight Garner - The New York Times*
