Description

Not so much a discovery as a re-discovery, Robert Walton’s new book of poems, ‘Sax Burglar Blues’, is his first full collection since winning a Welsh Arts Council Prize in the 70s. After a working life as a teacher, Walton has resurrected his artistic gifts, and years of experience give his work both a spiky mien and an artful complexity. Packed with memory, incident, observation, opinion, humour, outrage, and elegy, this collection benefits hugely from the author’s years of experience.
