This is the site of the poet Richard Price. His award-winning poetry is wide-ranging in form and subject, with an emotional spectrum that offers a rich reading experience across each collection. Key themes include: understanding the contemporary; fathers and daughters; mothers, fathers and sons; lovers and loving relationships; the politics of our environment, 'eco-poetry' through a clear, unromantic lens; and carers and disability in states of resistance and (yes) joy. He is a tutor at the Poetry School and was for many years a curator of contemporary collections at the British Library in London.
Late Gifts
Late Gifts is the collection which takes off from the 'gift' of a son to the author in late middle age. It's a collection bursting with life renewed -- and a global sense of urgency when the 'eco' crisis is as much about 'economics' as ecology.

Moon for Sale
"Richard Price's
poetry is inventive, sometimes dazzling, but never merely showy. I first came to Price's poetry with the publication
of Lucky Day (2005) and every subsequent book has delivered fresh weather. Moon for Sale appeared in 2017, and
I'm still rereading it and finding new pleasures. Price threads the political into the personal when he writes love poetry,
and his intensely felt lyricism is sinewy with warning." -- Carol Rumens
