This site gives information about the poet and novelist Richard Price (who writes fiction as R.J. Price). Richard Price's poems "are clear, witty, intelligent, versatile and often
highly moving; superb examples of a hard-earned surface simplicity conveying oceanic depths of
feeling and thought." "required reading" -- Carol Rumens R.J. Price's fiction has "a rare and precious stasis, a sense of otherness and the gift of insinuation. Ghosts invisible; ever present.

natural world", these poems "with a fire-work fizz of urgency in their tail".
