​Milford has succeeded in pulling the pioneering women of Clyde and the Dunstan out from the shadows cast by their husbands, and giving them a voice. She shows us their strengths and frailties, and creates a community...Milford's use of language sings. At its most luminous  her verse is lyrical and surprising; at times joyful and
thankful, others heart-breaking...
                                 Karen Zelas





Meticulously researched, Milford's superb poems reflect the unheard voices of those brave, indomitable women who survived hardship and sorrow, and whose lives are an overlooked part of Clyde's history.
