Sax Burglar Blues

Robert Walton's career as a poet began promisingly, with a Welsh Arts Council Prize for his first book in 1978. However, a career in teaching intervened and it is only since his retirement from that profession in 2010, that he has been able to devote his considerable energies to his first vocation. His new book, Sax Burglar Blues, is therefore only his second full collection. Packed with memory, incident, observation, opinion, humour, outrage and elegy, this collection benefits hugely from the author's years of experience.
