The prevailing mood of David Constantine s poetry is one of unease,
often elegiac or comically edged, barbed with pain or tinged with
pleasure. His new book Something for the Ghosts holds a worried and
restless balance between celebration and anxiety, restraint and longing.
Before ghosts speak, they need a drink of blood, according to Homer.
Several of these poems summon up the dead and give them a voice,
giving expression to the love and grief that go with them. All poetry,
however private or distant its origins, is an attempt to give palpable life
to what would otherwise be unapproachable by the senses. Every reader
gives someone else s poem a new lease of life, another metamorphosis in
flesh and blood, and the poem quickens its new host like the necessary
draught that Odysseus gave his ghosts at the mouth of Hades. David
Constantine s book does not exorcise any ghosts, but rather does the
opposite, making them more vigorous and persistent in their haunting.
The mood is both tender and desperate, with something of the uncanny
in its blend of the recognisably human and apparently Other... His
religious regard for the world (not the same thing as religious
conviction) produces a strange translation of its ordinary terms. Its
colours and ¡oys and terrors are heightened as though by fever, yet at
the same time brought into clearer focus
-
SEAN o brien, Poetry Review
Constantine s peculiar vision is an uneasy blend of the exquisite and the
everyday...the beatific, the ordinary, the
rebarbative
even, are almost
indistinguishable...Overwhelmingly the poems are intelligent and well-
turned, setting out the tensions between innocence and experience with
Япе
control
