Welcome. Thank you for visiting.
Ulterior Atmospheres is my debut poetry collection, published by Live Canon in 2020.
Ulterior Atmospheres instantly establishes Samuel Prince as a distinct and arresting new voice in English verse. Eye-catching images and blade-sharp observations are rendered in line that are jazzy, robust and thoroughly alert. The manifold deep spirit of Les Murray is alive here somewhere, the sound of wisdom playing the wise-guy yet no less wise for all that."
Glyn Maxwell
"The men who move through 'Ulterior Atmospheres' are only ever part-glimpsed, and seem to shapeshift, switch costume and blend with the shadows. This loving homage to old Americana takes strident male types like the spy, the boxer and the sailor, and pairs them with anxiety, illness and the backward glance of the imposter. Prince's fine, cinematic details set each scene for the take, where every flitting stagehand and extra might be the leading man's assassin."
