Poetry/short stories recomendation please

[mumblecrumble]

Hi folks,
I'm married to a lover of books, music and film. I'd like to get him a book (paperback?) of poetry or short stories on Valentines. We are at his Mums so thining erotic is too risky. Am thinking -

poetry - love poetry, but not cheesey or too sex based. Real love, bit of gritty comedy in there (cracker under the settee type thing perhaps... hmmm)Growing old together and a bit of passiojns too..

Short storied - heard thing about 'Best European fiction 2010' ANy body read or good revewi this?

ANy ideas?

box of chocoaltes?
