'The mind of David Jones is capable of such breathtaking leaps
across the centuries, that nothing can appear incongruous in his
writings and they all help to shed light on him as an artist and as
a poet.' Apollo Through a selection of letters to friends and
literary peers, Dai Greatcoat presents a rare insight into the life
and work of David Jones, and in so doing offers an autobiographical
portrait of the author in his own words. Dai Greatcoat is the Welsh
soldier of In Parenthesis, Jones's acclaimed narrative of the Great
War, but the sturdy yet all too vulnerable figure, wrapped close in
his 'misfit outsize greatcoat', is an apt symbol for the great poet
and artist who died in 1974. In this volume covering the last fifty
years of his life, Jones's correspondence has been edited and
arranged with a linking commentary to form a remarkable
biographical portrait. The letters - merry, irreverent, sometimes
sombre and anxious, always amazingly open - are unfailingly
entertaining and will reveal to his many admirers, as well as to
those encountering his work for the first time, a figure no one
could possibly forget.
