Revue de presse
The publication of David Constantine's Elder marks the poet and translator's 70th birthday with a work of impressive range and scale. It manifests his lifelong devotion to the classics and to German, and enables us to see and hear more fully how they have contributed to his own inimitably passionate lyricism. --Sean O'Brien, Guardian
David Constantine has just turned 70 and his new collection, Elder, has a beguiling archaic goddess on the cover and many dreams and adventures inside. --Marina Warner, Observer, Best Holiday Reads 2014
Drawing on the sensibilities of the European poets - Goethe, Hölderlin, Brecht - whose work he knows so intimately, Constantine's humane and serious volume weighs the life of the individual against the crash and tumble of the wider world and finds in favour of the subtler forces and complexities of the former. --Sarah Crown, Guardian [on Nine Fathom Deep]

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Like the work of the European poets who have nourished him, David Constantine's poetry is informed by a profoundly humane vision of the world. Many of the poems in his latest collection spring from particular localities: Scilly, the North of England, Southern France, the Aegean, Wales; others from certain places (loci) in literature and mythology. Inspired by such 'local habitations' and the people who live there, the poems of Elder express gratitude and loyalty, but also grief at every harm and death. Published on his 70th birthday, David Constantine's tenth book of poetry sounds many personal elegiac notes as well as - in the story of Erysichthon, for example - anxiety at the abuse of Earth, but there is also much celebration of love, beauty and the hope and aspiration in human beings to live well in the time allowed. David Constantine's 10th book of poetry, published on his 70th birthday, celebrates people and places in literature, life and mythology.
