In Another Country - David Constantine

English writer, poet and short stories.  This is a collection of short stories.
Constantine has a poet's sense of language.  He writes with a sparse, precise language.  His ability to follow and portray the hidden emotional pathways between two people is a joy to read.  The stories themselves are a bit depressing or unsettling, and they explore the hidden sides of life between people, the buried parts, the irrational parts.  No judgement, just tender observation.

Would like to have a look at some of his poetry.
