Dear Kathy
ReplyDeleteI am a late appreciator of the art of David Jones; I wonder if you know of any recordings that are available of his reading his work. I think I read somewhere that he recorded part of The Sleeping Lord.
thanks very much

Yes, he recorded "The Sleeping Lord" and also some other poems. Check out a series called "The Poet Speaks" put out by Caedmon. I think you'll turn up whatever is still readily available commercially.
DeleteHi. I'm an MA Student in UK working on Jones' Chester Play of the Deluge illustrations for my disertation. I was trying to find out how to join the David Jones Society - but the web link takes me to strange places. Can you help?
ReplyDeleteBy the way - for Chuck - There is an archive recording of Richard Burton reading In Parenthesis in the British Library. A tape, I believe, though I haven't heard it someone should revive it!
