Blue

<p class=ql-align-justify>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. </p><p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p><strong>- Mark Young</strong></p><p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify>In <em>Blue</em> 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.</p><p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p><strong>- Mark Cobley</strong></p><p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p class=ql-align-justify><em>Blue</em> 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.</p><p class=ql-align-center><br></p><p><strong>- Aaron Kent</strong></p>
