Stephen Boyce has had a lifelong engagement with the arts and heritage. As a poet he is the author of three full-length collections and three poetry pamphlets, often drawing on the natural world. His essay Twenty Lime Trees and a Fence describes a lane within yards of his front door in Marnhull over the course of a year.
