'I'm compelled by Chris Price s technical finesse, her wit, the way she takes on and takes in so much from such diverse places, and threads it to something so splendidly her own: a descant on Modernism that is up to its massive subject a big, original, flaring celebration.' - Vincent O'Sullivan

'Chris Price s sumptuous new poetry collection, The Blind Singer, stands as a seductive plea to open our senses to the world in different ways .' --Paula Green

'This ability to pull together multiple strands of cultural, intellectual, personal and interpersonal life into an accessible and musical poetic utterance is undoubtedly Price's strength as a poet, and it is epitomised by the major sequence that ends the volume, 'The Angel Question: An Essay'. This philosophical poem constitutes an important statement about the debate between poetry and science in the twenty-first century. Keats's beauty and truth argument is intertwined with the circus, Rilke's angels, Charlie Chaplin, Einstein and more besides in a deeply compelling and serious finale to a volume that is full of gravitas.' --Helen May Dennis, Warwick Review
