Description

David Constantine's tenth collection of poetry, Elder, is published on his 70th birthday. Inspired by local habitations and the people who live there, these poems express gratitude and loyalty, but also grief at every harm and death. With a profoundly humane vision of the world, Constantine's work explores themes of love, beauty, and the human aspiration to live well in the time allowed. The poems in Elder draw on various places and literary traditions, from Scilly to Southern France, Wales, and beyond. They are marked by a deep sense of place and a strong connection to the natural world. Through his poetry, Constantine offers a nuanced exploration of the human experience, one that is both deeply personal and universally relatable. With its thoughtful and evocative poems, Elder is a collection that invites readers to reflect on their own relationships with the world around them.
