[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
Jane Yeh, 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
David Morley, Guardian
A writer with exceptional gifts
Peter Kemp, Sunday Times
Thorpe's poems are finely scored for the voice, but they go beyond the recognisable into the mystical
Peter Porter, Observer
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
