Julie Boden gives poetry a good name – she’s got Brum in her blood and song in her voice.  ‘Cut on the Bias’ is a fantastic journey across the public and intimate middle heartlands of England … Your ride on the metro or drive through Spaghetti Junction will never feel the same again. (Adrian Johnson, Literature Development Officer, ACE)

Form enriches content, draws it out from itself, slightly separates it from its source, mesmerises  us and makes it a thing of art. (Jonathan Davidson, Birmingham Book Festival)

With each word you do unfold a tale both within and beyond my ken. (Wanjiku Nyachae)

A wonderful second collection: the poetry is cut sharply on the bias making it moving, ironic and deliciously tempting.

(Helena Rudge)
