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. WINNER OF THE SCOTTISH BOOK AWARD for POETRY "That hoarding of the precious before it's gone, not only for the parent
but for the child who will inherit the memory, the story, is beautifully achieved, as is the unbridgeable distance between parent and child." "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."
Small World and other collections are available in paperback and as an e-book, direct from Carcanet or order locally via LocalBookshops.co.uk or the usual online retailers. All texts unless otherwise stated © Richard Price |
