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.

Reporter, author, artist, and screenwriter Wallace Smith (1888–1937) served as the Washington correspondent for the Chicago American for over a decade, and originated the paper's Joe Blow comic panel feature. Reputed to have been one of the most colorful characters to have worked for the Hearst newspapers, he switched back and forth between cartooning and reporting, covering subjects as diverse as the criminal trials of Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle and Pancho Villa's Mexican campaigns. Smith's experiences as an eyewitness to the armed struggles of the Mexican Revolution during the 1910s and '20s inspired these remarkable stories. They begin with the title tale of a soldadera, one of the many women who abandoned their conventional roles to fight in the revolution. Populated by soldiers, bandits, and peasants, these tales of love, treachery, courage, and adventure are illustrated by the author's atmospheric drawings from his field sketchbook.
