Writer with exceptional gifts. -- Peter Kemp * Sunday Times * Verve and intelligence... a beauty of feeling and language. -- Douglas Dunn * Evening Standard * Excellent... Thorpe's poems are finely scored for the voice, but they go beyond the recognisable into the mystical. -- Peter Porter * Observer * Erudite, observant, an artist with the language. -- Martyn Crucefix * Poetry Review * It's hard to imagine greater skill or concision... There are never going to be many poets in any generation who leave you strapped for superlatives; excitingly, Thorpe is one of them. -- Robert Ports * Literary Review *
