This site gives information about the poet and novelist Richard
Price (who writes fiction as R.J. Price).
"The Island is a story of rare qualities that
many writers aim for and few achieve. Read it -- it'll be one of the most beautiful nightmares
you'll ever have." -- Toby Litt
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." -- Robert Potts, The Guardian
Ghosts, Craigends House
Their spilling garden-party voice
brought me, startled, close.
I stopped before the orchard postern gate
and watched their dresses lift
and gather, show their knees.
Crouching out on ladders,
up beneath
fat Victoria plums
as firm and tight
as bruises on the cheek,
they plucked their father’s fruit.
-- from Greenfields
