There are regrets but no trace of self-pity in these verses, which--for all their grappling with death and his current illness--are primarily a celebration of what is treasurable and memorable in our time here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAgain and again, James reminds us that he is not only a poet of effortless wit and lyric accomplishment but also an immensely wise one, who delights in using poetic form to bring a razor-sharp focus to his thought. Miraculously, these poems see James writing with his insight and energy not only undiminished but positively charged by his situation. The poems of \u003cem\u003eSentenced to Life\u003c\/em\u003e represents a career high point from one of the greatest literary intellects of our age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Clive James\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1631491725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781631491726\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liveright Publishing Corporation\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 74\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.60w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/21\/2015","brand":"Clive James","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43986304303359,"sku":"9781631491726","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ce23efe4-2261-48de-99e0-6f7049cbdc12.jpg?v=1683282567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sentenced-to-life-clive-james-9781631491726","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
