Robert WaltonBorn in Cardiff in 1948, Robert Walton's 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 te late 90s, initially working with artists in other media – music, dance, storytelling, film and installation. His poetry pamphlet, Waiting for the Wave, was published by Pighog Press in 2012. He has co-written two plays for Inkling Productions Labyrinth (2012) and Green Shoots (2014). 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. Read More Read Less
