Book synopsis

David Constantine is one the finest poets writing in English. His poetry stands outside the current literary climate, and like the work of the European poets who have nourished him, it is informed by a profoundly humane vision of the world. Its mood is often one of unease, elegiac or comically edged, barbed with pain or tinged with pleasure. His poems hold a worried and restless balance between celebration and anxiety, restraint and longing. His "Collected Poems" spans three decades, including work from seven previous Bloodaxe titles and two limited editions, as well as a whole collection of new poems. It is a Poetry Book Society Recommendation.
