David Constantine – Elder
Poetry
David Constantine presents his new collection, Elder, marking the poet and translator’s 70th birthday. David has published several volumes of poetry as well as a novel, Davies, and four collections of short stories: Back at the Spike, Under the Dam, The Shieling, and Tea at the Midland. He is an editor and translator of Hölderlin, Goethe, Kleist and Brecht. He was the winner of the 2010 BBC National Short Story Award and the 2013 Frank O’ Connor International Short Story Award. With his wife Helen he edited Modern Poetry in Translation, 2003-12.
“…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.” The Guardian
