This is the site of the writer Richard Price. His fiction includes The Island, about a father and a daughter on the strangest road-trip to London Zoo. His award-winning poetry is wide-ranging in form and subject, with an emotional spectrum that offers a rich reading experience across each collection. He is a tutor at the Poetry School and was for many years a curator of contemporary collections at the British Library in London. The IslandThe Island 'A masterclass in atmospheric suspense and domestic unease'. It begins as an ordinary day of frayed nerves and suburban fractiousness.

Moon for Sale"Richard Price's poetry is inventive, sometimes dazzling, but never merely showy. I first came to Price's poetry with the publication of Lucky Day (2005) and every subsequent book has delivered fresh weather. Moon for Sale appeared in 2017, and I'm still rereading it and finding new pleasures. Price threads the political into the personal when he writes love poetry, and his intensely felt lyricism is sinewy with warning." -- Carol Rumens
