Richard Price’s collections explore the contemporary as a space of ultra-materialism in which over-consumption both expresses and contends with displaced patterns of affection. Most recently these include Late Gifts (Carcanet, 2023) which somehow manages to be eco-poetry, political satire (wild swimmers, look away now) and a reflection on the layered childhoods we might all experience as we go through life. Its companion is Tinderness (Wild Pansy Press, 2022), a new take on the sonnet and on dating apps. He edits the little magazine Painted, spoken.
