[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
Thorpe's poems are finely scored for the voice, but they go beyond the recognisable into the mystical
- Peter Porter, Observer
A writer with exceptional gifts
- Peter Kemp, 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
- Robert Potts, Literary Review
