Carcanet Press Poetry Publisher
Quote of the Day
British publishing always needs the supplement of such enterprises as Carcanet -- beautifully independent, skilfully managed, and by people with exceptional literary taste. It gives one heart that there are such people and such a press, and that they are too resourceful to succumb to the climate.

Richard Price and Thomas A. Clark reviewed in the Guardian

Monday, 2 Nov 2009

The Hundred Thousand Places by Thomas A. Clark 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.
