Publisher's Summary

With more from his acclaimed 1986 collection, Artificial Horizon is the second audio volume of Poems From The Book of My Enemy, read by the poet himself, Clive James.

After The Book of My Enemy, Clive James emerged as one of the most prominent poets of his generation. Continuing the broad thematic scope and dazzling technical accomplishment of the first volume, this audio performance is a real treasure for fans and newcomers alike.
