And come along to Midsteeple on 2 June, 7.00pm, to congratulate him and to celebrate the two Hughs’ beautiful new publication: The Lost Garden 
Roncadora Press is proud to announce the publication, in May 2010, of ‘The Lost Garden’ by Hugh McMillan. This is the first full poetry collection published by Roncadora Press whose pamphlets from a range of contemporary poets, including ‘Postcards From the Hedge’, a previous collaboration with poet Hugh McMillan and winner of the 2009 Callum MacDonald Prize, have been highly acclaimed. Roncadora Press prides itself on making fine hand made artists’ books as well as showcasing some of the finest of Scotland’s poets. ‘The Lost Garden’ will continue this tradition, combining Hugh McMillan’s imaginative and skilful verse with linocuts and line drawings by Hugh Bryden, all contained in an ingeniously designed and unique hand-stitched volume.
Hugh McMillan lives in Penpont and works as a teacher in Dumfries Academy. This is his 5th full collection of poetry. He is one of Scotland’s most individual, accessible and entertaining voices. “Funny, intelligent and at times overlooked, he is one of Scotland's best contemporary poets.” Tessa Ransford
