About Interglacial:
"James Richardson [is] a writer who deserves much wider attention on both sides of the pond."
—Paul Muldoon"If we add to wit and intelligence, remindful of the Metaphysicals, a dash of Rilkean subtley and insinuatingness, we should have something like a sense of Richardson's accomplishment. Certainly his work establishes him as one of the poets this time is lucky to have."
—Theodore Weiss"[Richardson's] work brings news to us of packets of mental and emotional experience that haven't sung so well together in poetry fo a longer time than one would care to think."
—C.K.Williams
