Disgrifiad Cymraeg / Welsh Description
Casgliad newydd o gerddi gan Robert Walton, y casgliad cyntaf ers iddo ennill Gwobr Cyngor Celfyddydau Cymru yn y 1970au. Wedi gyrfa ym myd addysg, ailddarganfu ei ddoniau creadigol, ac mae profiad byd gwaith yn rhoi golwg bigog a chymhlethdod cyfrwys i'w gerddi.
Disgrifiad Saesneg / English 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.

Bywgraffiad yr Awdur / Author Biography
Born in Cardiff in 1948, Robert 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. In 2010 he retired from his lifelong career as an English teacher and his poetry pamphlet, Waiting for the Wave, was published by Pighog Press in 2012. He is a member of the poetry workshop and performance group, The Spoke, which regularly presents its work in Bristol Poetry Festival, and is an experienced reader of his work. Robert is now working on a novel and dissertation in the final year of a part-time PhD at Cardiff University where he also teaches Creative Writing to undergraduates.
