..".Along with the poetry comes a growing awareness of the
'independent airs' of radical Belfast, of the great dissenting
tradition of the past, of an integrationist stance. Birds flying in
and out of The Clock Flower poems- blackbirds, sparrows, hawks,
jays-put us in mind of John Hewitt's lines about staking his future
on 'birds flying in and out of the schoolroom window.' Hewitt, and
beyond him the nineteenth-century Dr. William Drennan (subject of
Rice's MPhil thesis), are exemplars for this poet. But Rice's voice
is distinctively his own: forthright, colloquial, wry and
persuasive." -Patricia Craig, Times Literary Supplement
