Richard Price
Richard Price was born in 1966 and grew up in Scotland. He trained as a journalist at Napier College, Edinburgh, before studying English at the University of Strathclyde, Glasgow. The youngest of the Informationist group of poets, he was a founder of the magazines associated with them, Gairfish and Southfields. He also co-founded Vennel Press, the imprint which brought many of the earlier Informationist collections to a wider audience. Richard Price is currently Head of Modern British Collections at the British Library, London.
Richard Price’s long-awaited first collection combines wit, ingenuity and warmth in a series of deeply affecting poems.  Dealing with a breathtaking range of subjects including love, the private lives of birds, and the author’s relationship with his daughter, the collection innovates without inhumanity yet never loses the essential clarity of expression that distinguishes true poetry.
