The journey into The Opposites Game enters the sometime surreal, sometime witty, sometime irreverent world of Brendan Constantine. All is not joy as the dark lays just under the thinly veiled poems much in the tradition of the poet Donald Lev. As surreal as Constantine can be, there is also the constant pulse of realism streaming throughout the collection.
The poem, Delve, reveals Constantine to be a master of the surreal. There is a rhythmic pulse to the poem that combines with its bizarre content. Such as in the first eight lines of the poem.
