There was a wonderful double Carcanet review of Rays by Richard Price and The Hundred Thousand Places by Thomas A. Clark in the Guardian Review on Saturday.

David Wheatley praised Richard Price's new collection as 'writing with a firework-fizz of urgency in its tail', concluding that 'Price is a compellingly pleasurable poet, and Rays is a book to read late into the night.'

Wheatley, himself the editor of Samuel Beckett's Selected Poems, described Thomas A. Clark's book-length poem The Hundred Thousand Places as 'stand[ing] at a tentative and oblique angle to the more established modes of pastoral writing.' Wheatley also admired the way in which 'self and landscape appear to fold into each other seamlessly' in Clark's work.
