Stephen Boyce was brought up in Surbiton and lives in Winchester. He has been a prizewinner in the Kent & Sussex, Leicester, Ledbury, Ware Poets and Plough Prize competitions and is widely published. His collection Desire Lines (Arrowhead 2010) has been described as “intelligent, sophisticated and formally-assured... a truly exciting new voice.” Gillian Clarke said: “he impressed me with the mystery and delicacy of his work.” www.stephenboycepoetry.co.uk.
