Description

Clive James' latest work, The River in the Sky, is a book-length poem that takes readers on a journey through the author's life, exploring the fragility and beauty of his experiences. Despite being confined to his Cambridge home, James' mind is free to roam, and he shares his passions with generosity, making brilliant connections and tackling the biggest questions.

From personal moments, such as listening to jazz records with his future wife, to encounters with culture, including Beethoven's Ninth Symphony and the vastness of YouTube, James presents a flowing stream of vivid images. This autobiographical epic is a soaring work of exceptional depth and overwhelming feeling, one that will resonate with readers.
