hydrohotel.net - a Richard Price webspace

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."
-- Robert Potts, The Guardian

"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. The west of Scotland's small town essence, its urban borderlands of the mind, have rarely been better brought to life or better mapped in shades of loss." -- Tom Adair, The Scotsman

News

Richard Price included in landmark anthology of contemporary poetry:

New poetry collection Rays published: The Guardian acclaims this "intensely tactile poet", these "exquisite snapshots of the natural world", these poems "with a fire-work fizz of urgency in their tail". [Read full review]

"Richard Price is, by far, the most gifted Scottish poet of his generation and he gets better book by beguiling book. Rays has wit, emotional depth, lyrical intensity, technical assurance, all enviably and uniquely present." -- Donny O'Rourke, Books of the Year, The Scotsman
