Rays garners widespread praise:

David Wheatley in 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]

"If you find yourselves up in the small hours reading these poems, Price’s stoical, beautiful, illogical meditations on the condition will keep you company." -- Julia Bird in Poetry London

"Price is a poet who listens, and this makes his work sing." -- Abi Curtis in Eyewear

On the horizon is Mirabeau's first album, Golden Key, on the Generous label. It will be out soon: it is currently being mastered and pressed. The album features many songs whose lyrics have been written by Price and he features as a vocalist on the record. With music composed by Caroline Trettine (who also plays on all the tracks), lyrics and vocals by poet Nancy Campbell, and performances by guitarist Ian Kearey, this is a work of drive and beauty.

Long a writer of fiction as well as poetry, Richard Price (as "R J Price") returns to the form with a novella, The Island, which will be published by Two Ravens in summer 2010. "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
