As my compatriate and fellow poet Clive James, terminally ill, prepares for his final curtain call, in a recent interview he spoke with his trademark dry wit.
When asked if he regretted being better
known for his work in TV than for his poetry he said "There is a long
answer to this but the short one is that television paid for the groceries and
as a poet I would have starved."
