Description
Clive James's Injury Time is a poignant and powerful collection of poems that confront the author's own mortality with unflinching honesty. Written in the final years of his life, these intimate poems reflect on the importance of family, the comfort of art and literature, and the preciousness of life's remaining moments. James's poems are a testament to his remarkable life and work, which spanned multiple genres and disciplines. From childhood memories to visions of his granddaughter in flight, these poems are a deeply personal and moving exploration of the human experience. With its themes of love, loss, and the search for meaning, Injury Time is a book that will resonate with anyone who has ever grappled with the big questions of life. A fitting companion to James's earlier work, Sentenced to Life, Injury Time is a testament to the enduring power of poetry to capture the essence of the human condition.
