Regional Voices celebrates new work from three of the best poets in the region, Milner Place has had ten collections published. American poet, Todd Moore, writes of his poetry: 'His work is just simply unique, one of a kind, and in a class all by itself.’ Milner will read from his latest collection Naked Invitation, Lapwing Publications. Nina Boyd’s poems take a wry glance at the darker side of human relationships and family life; humorous and perceptive, they are never afraid of letting blood.
