Maker of Signs
Compiled and introduced by Peter Orr with autobiographical recollections recorded by David Jones for the British Council and for Jon Silkin.
David Jones, poet and painter, died a year ago, a few days before his 80th birthday. His two great works 'In Parenthesis' and 'The Anathemata,' with their powerful symbolic content are not easy to grasp; and for most of his life he remained virtually unknown. But in recent years he has been increasingly recognised as a major poet in the Anglo-Celtic tradition.
