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
