hydrohotel.net - a Richard Price webspace

This site gives information about the poet and novelist Richard Price (who writes fiction as R.J. Price).

Small World "A work of genius" -- Louise Welsh.

Widespread acclaim for Small World's poems:

"I am greatly changed" -- Poem of the Week, The Guardian

"Drugs, or" -- Poem of the Week, The Scotsman

"Cocktail hour" -- a Best Scottish Poem 2012, Scottish Poetry Library

"It is the sense of the spaciousness of Price’s language that I particularly came to admire in this book. In his longer poems
there is a roominess: nothing is easily locked down into simple structures; the complexity of thought and sensation is given
room to be fully expressed, not simplified, yet remain accessible.
I might call what Richard Price has achieved the new personal."
-- Caroline Clark.

Small World is available in paperback and as an e-book, available direct from Carcanet or order locally via LocalBookshops.co.uk
