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.

Autorenporträt
Born in Cardiff in 1948, Robert Walton was educated in the city and studied English Literature at Exeter University. His first collection of poems, Workings, won the Welsh Arts Council New Poet Award in 1978 but, for reasons which are still a mystery to him, he stopped writing for almost twenty years. Robert resumed writing in the late 90s, initially working with artists in other media - music, dance, storytelling, film and installation.
