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 Potts, Literary Review
Erudite, observant, an artist with the language
Martyn Crucefix, Poetry Review
Verve and intelligence - a beauty of feeling and language
Douglas Dunn, Evening Standard
He is a powerful lyric poet, able to evoke place in the manner of Geoffrey Hill
John Kinsella, Observer
A writer with exceptional gifts
Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
Elegiac, haunting landscape, a refusal to give redundant biographical detail, yet the feeling of genuine experience... masterly
Times Literary Supplement
Excellent...Thorpe's poems are finely scored for the voice, but they go beyond the recognisable into the mystical
Peter Porter, Observer
