Klappentext zu „James, C: Injury Time “
'James's confrontation with his approaching death is nothing short of inspirational' IndependentInjury Time finds Clive James with more time on the clock than he had anticipated, and all the more determined to use it wisely - to capture the treasurable moment, and think about how best to live his remaining days.
In a series of intimate poems, James declares 'family' to be our greatest blessing; he writes about his longing for Australia, where he began his life and where he hopes to 'reach the end'; and throughout, he creates stunning poems about the beauty of the world, which has become ever more apparent to him in his later years.
The poems in this moving, wise and unsentimental book are as accomplished as any he has ever written - indeed the unexpected gift of James's Injury Time shows him to be in the form of his life.
'The poems are as widely ranging and inventive as ever, both in their form and their content' Times Literary Supplement, Books of the Year 2017
'Injury Time is a significant achievement . . . it will ring in the ears and tug at the heart of any reader' Australian
