In David Jones and Other Wonder Voyagers, Philip Pacey explores the aesthetics of some of the twentieth century's leading poets and artists: David Jones, Hugh MacDiarmid, George Mackay Brown, Ian Hamilton Finlay, Paul Nash, Geoffrey Hill and others.
The emphasis of this collection of essays rests on David Jones, whose poetry is now recognised as amongst the most important of the century, and whose visual art was the subject of a retrospective exhibition at the Tate Gallery in 1981. A Catholic, Jones was born and lived in London yet was much influenced by his Welsh and Celtic ancestry which, as Philip Pacey shows, he bound with his knowledge of history and his sense of the sacred to produce unique works of art, both visual and, in In Parenthesis and The Anathemata, literary.
Pacey examines various aspects of Jones' art, poetry, essays and letters, and in later essays on MacDiarmid and others, draws comparisons and establishes links between his subjects.
Philip Pacey, born in 1946, graduated from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, and trained as a librarian at Aberystwyth. He was a winner of the Pernod National Young Poets' Prize, and the recipient of a Gregory Award. His poetry cycle Charged Landscapes was published in 1979. He is also the author of A Sense of What is Right: the Arts and Existential Man, and has been a regular contributor of poems, essays and reviews to arts and literary magazines in Wales and elsewhere. He is married with two children.
