Clive James has a fantastic range and depth of knowledge. He is, at times, miraculously funny. He writes knowledgeably and with passion about literature, and especially poetry.--Sam Leith
A unique figure, a straddler of genres and a bridger of the gaps between high and low culture. He will be seen, I think, as one of the most important and influential writers of our time.--Bryan Appleyard
This ability to tell which lines live and which only counterfeit life--call it, simply, taste--is Mr. James's great strength as a critic of poetry. His focus on the phrase and the line, rather than the large structure or the governing thought, feels like a poet's way of reading. . . . Mr. James's generosity of attention, his willingness to trawl through pages of verse in search of the hair-raising line, is his most appealing quality as a critic.--Adam Kirsch
A book bursting with quotable moments, many of them spill-your-drink funny.... Indeed, great poetry thrills James in the way roller coasters and celebrity sightings thrill other people. His enthusiasm is infectious.--Emily Donaldson
The celebrated writer, translator and television personality examines the poems and legacies of a range of 20th-century poets, from Hart Crane and Ezra Pound to Ted Hughes and Anne Sexton, while sharing views on how to read and appreciate modern poetry.
