Reviews
‘Buxton is a performer in full control of his craft, combining the confidence of an arena comedian with the sensitivity of a poet…brimming with talent…don’t be surprised if you see him on your television screens soon.’
EDP‘Poems that capture the rugby scrum of insight and uncertainty, the questions and discoveries I remember and still live. It pulled me in and showed me it’s birth marks. Loved it.’
