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 .
