Lyrická kolekce Rozptylování byla oceněna britskou knižní cenou Costa za poezii a zároveň získala titul Kniha roku 2009. Sbírka básní, přeložená v původní koncepci, je poctou básníkově ženě, divadelní a seriálové herečce Lucindě Ganeové, která zemřela na zhoubný mozkový nádor. Reidovy verše svým klidem i bytostným optimismem nabízejí pomocnou ruku všem, kdo se podobně ocitají v nelehké situaci ztráty nejbližšího. Nekomplikované, zřetelně podané verše jsou oceňovány pro svou mimořádnou vyrovnanost a poetické mistrovství. „Srozumitelné, pádné panorama zármutku a ztráty… Tyto klidné, pečlivé, chladně sebereflektující básně zvou čtenáře ke čtení bez výjimky… Není tu sebelítost, žádné výčitky směrem k božímu trůnu, jen klidná sekulární modlitba díků...“ Guardian
