[He] writes like a man in love with language, with the sheer
possibilities of words. His work is musical, brimming with slant
rhyme and assonance, and also subtle in its effects
*Poetry Review*
The essential element about Thorpe the poet is that he is unusual
among many contemporaries for possessing a superbly honed ear for
the cadences of language and speech
*Guardian*
Thorpe's poems are finely scored for the voice, but they go beyond
the recognisable into the mystical
*Observer*
A writer with exceptional gifts
*Sunday Times*
There are never going to be many poets in any generation who leave
you strapped for superlatives; excitingly, Thorpe is one of
them
