Clive James was not recognised sufficiently for his skill with the written word. His book of Poems That Make Men Cry was very moving. One of his poems, Japanese Maple, was an insight into his own mind as he slowly became aware of his own demise during the onset of his debilitating illness. One of the most moving things I have ever read. R.I.P.
