A recent airing of BBC's Poetry Extra titled "The Great Libraries -- Aberystwyth" has a 6-minute section devoted to a discussion of David Jones's long poem, In Parenthesis. It features a discussion with archivist Nia Mai Daniels of the National Library of Wales (Aberystwyth) about Jones's manuscript itself; it also includes a short dramatized reading from the final pages of In Parenthesis.
Viewable at this link for a limited time (discussion of Jones begins around minute 20): www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m000l84s Anthony Domestico (SUNY-Purchase) will be giving a talk based on his book Poetry and Theology in the Modernist Period (Johns Hopkins, 2017) -- which features a fascinating chapter on David Jones -- for the Zephyr Institute. It will take place via Zoom on next Thursday, 16 July at 16:00-17:00 Pacific Time (18:00 Central, 19:00 EST, 12 Midnight GMT).
