Blue

The color blue & its aspects are, to Robert Burton, descriptors of very personal things. Many of those are examined / exposed / explained in the poems in this book called Blue. He has a knowledge of himself, &, importantly, the ability to pass on that knowledge in a well-crafted & insightful way that makes this small collection an excellent & delightful read.

In Blue we are led through moments and situations that play with our understanding of reality, presence and absence, which slowly draw us in to question the 'exact shape/of an empty space'. He does it well.



- Mark Cobley



Blue is syntactically surprising: an exciting collection of poetry which, like good jazz, finds rhythm in the notes left unplayed and the words left unsaid. This is a layered work to return to time and again, each visit rewarded with new meaning.
