Thanks, Anne, for this comprehensive account of David Jones Society activities this past year.</span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Dear friends</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">It’s been a surprisingly busy year
for the DJS, with all sorts of events going on in addition to all kind of plans
being made to commemorate the centenary of the Great War, in 2014.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The first celebratory
activity this year was the completion and showing of <b>Derek Shiel’s</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> second film concerning the life and
work of DJ: <b><i>David Jones Between the Wars: the years of achievement</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b>.</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> Many members have had a chance to
see the film when Derek toured it to a number of venues around the country: and
indeed, there are more screenings scheduled into 2013. If anyone wishes to
screen the film next year, then please contact the DJS. As has already been
communicated, copies of this film cannot be distributed to members, although we
have a few copies of <b>Derek’s </b></span><span lang="EN-GB">first film, <b><i>In Search of David Jones: Artist, Soldier, Poet.</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> However, thanks to the excellent
website that our friends at foblc (see below), the first film can now be
accessed from the foblc website: <a href="http://brockleycentral.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/david-jones-in-great-place.html" target="_blank">http://brockleycentral.blogspot.co.uk/2012/11/david-jones-in-great-place.html</a></span><span style="display: none; font-family: Helvetica;"> <a href="http://www.foblc.org.uk/2012_10_01_archive.html"><span style="color: #670072; font-family: "Times New Roman"; text-decoration: none;">http://www.foblc.org.uk/2012_10_01_archive.html</span></a></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"> </span><span style="display: none; font-family: Helvetica;"> </span><span lang="EN-GB">The highlight of the DJS was the 3-day
international interdisciplinary conference, <b><i>Culture and Artifice</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> organized by <b>Brad Hass</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> and <b>Kathleen Henderson Staudt</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">, at <b>Washington Adventist
University</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">, 28-20
March. Since then, <b>Brad</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> has found a publisher who is interested in publishing the papers from
the Conference. This is good news, for although we try to publish papers in the
DJJ, the circulation of the latter means that the wider public are often
unaware of new and exciting discoveries concerning DJ, his life and work. <b>Kathy
</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">has devised a DJS N.America
website, and has been uploading material. </span><a href="http://www.poetproph.blogspot.com/"><span style="display: none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11pt;">http://www.poetproph.blogspot.com</span></a><span style="color: #1037a5; display: none; font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 11pt;"><u> http://davidjonesartistandpoet.blogspot.com/</u></span><span style="display: none; font-family: Helvetica;"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">Another event which
bodes well for increasing scholarship related to DJ is the establishment of <b>The
David Jones Centre</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">
at Aberystwyth University</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> The Centre will provide a new arena for research in two interrelated
domains: the relation between word and image, as well as modernism and its
legacy in Wales. Two PhD students focused their presentations on DJ, with
highly original material being brought to light for the first time.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">We are grateful to the
Friends (foblc) of Brockley & Ladywell Cemeteries who co-organized a one
day seminar, the theme of which was <b><i>Borders</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"><b><i>,</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> in the Dissenters’ Chapel at <b>Ladywell
Cemetery</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> where DJ
is buried. Apart from showing sites of interest in the vicinity, the Friends,
who provided refreshments, also gave us a tour of the graveyard. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">The next day in nearby <b>Rotherhithe,
the DJ Walk</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">, which
took in a large numbers of sites that inspired place-names and other references
in DJ’s poetry, was a great success and, despite the incessant rain, the
walkers enjoyed societal camaraderie. We visited many of the places on the
itinerary, taking account of DJ’s childhood haunts and early life, but
abandoned our plans to take a ferry back to central London</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">,</span><span lang="EN-GB"> in the rain! This walk was
initially inspired by <b>Martin Haggerty</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">, who was responsible for the first walk in
Rotherhithe, and we are also indebted to <b>Juliet Johnston & Vivian Wright
</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">for their in-depth
research and careful organization of this event. </span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><b>Vivian Wright</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> is well-known as the Leader of the <b>DJ
Harrow Walk</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">, and is
hoping to arrange another Harrow walk next year. This should prepare us for
events that are currently in the pipeline for the anniversary of the Great War
in Harrow, in 2014. Artist <b>Jonathan Hutchins</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> is spearheading this proposal, and has already
gained support from the Leader of Harrow Council, <b>Bill Stephenson</b></span><span lang="EN-GB">, who has received a letter of
support from one of The DJS’s most distinguished members, <b>+Archbishop Rowan
Williams.</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">As we are all aware, <b>+Rowan</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> will son be standing down from his
arduous position as Head of the Church of England and the Anglican Church. His
tenure has been anything but smooth, yet he has been a guide and a shepherd
whose sincere integrity has been driven by godly wisdom. In following his
conscience he has the courage to voice his convictions, in spite of turbulent
opposition. We wish him every success, and a peaceful transition to his new
appointment in Cambridge in 2013. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB"><b>Jonathan Hutchins</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> would welcome any proposals that
might advance the commemorations in Harrow, which include obtaining a DJ blue
plaque in 2014. If you would like to contribute to the think tank, then you can

<span lang="EN-GB">With 2014 in mind, it is
hoped to re-publish <b><i>David Jones: A Fusilier at the Front</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB"><b> </b></span><span lang="EN-GB">(formerly published by Seren in 1995). The 1995
edition is incomplete in the number of drawings in this volume, and <b>Derek
Shiel</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> has been
asked to write a new commentary on the 2013-14 edition which will consist of
all 86 sketches. We also hope to exhibit these works in total, and if anyone

<span lang="EN-GB">As Christmas is almost
upon us, I can recommend some cards and presents you may wish to consider. The
first is <b>Thomas Dilworth’s </b></span><span lang="EN-GB">latest well-informed contribution to DJ studies, <b><i>David Jones in
the Great War</i></b></span><span lang="EN-GB">
(Enitharmon, 2012), £15.00, ISBN: 978 1 907587-24-5. It’s a wonderful
complement to what we already know of DJ’s situation in the Great War. Apart
from offering us new perspectives on DJ, the text is lavishly illustrated with
photographs of DJ, as well as artworks, including an endpaper with a
reproduction of early drafts from <i>In Parenthesis</i></span><span lang="EN-GB">. What’s more, among the people to whom Tom dedicates
his book is our enthusiastic, erstwhile honorary president, <b>Prof William
Blissett.</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> But don’t
just take my word for it – get a copy for yourself. You will not be disappointed.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt;">
<span lang="EN-GB">I am indebted to ‘</span><b>Jason And Becky</b><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-weight: normal;">’ who are currently
orchestrating the DJS website. I shall take great delight in informing you all
as soon as we go live. The website domain has been purchased: thedavidjonessociety.org</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";">.</span><span lang="EN-GB"> I am supplying the designers with
material, but also welcome any ideas you may have that will enhance the
website. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">And finally, we have
another co-editor for the Journal. <b>Sarah Williams</b></span><span lang="EN-GB"> prompted me to fast-forward the
next DJJ, and offered to help edit and collate the contributions I’ve received
over the last 4 years! (Frightening, isn’t it!) I am deeply grateful to Sarah and
have pleasure in reporting that the next Journal should be with you in March
2013. Following on from the Spring issue, the following journal will be devoted
to War, as we have plenty of material on the subject. Given the fact that 2014
is almost in sight, that issue will be on the topic of War. Accordingly, we
welcome further contributions on the subject for consideration in the 2013-14
edition.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">As you are aware,
requests for subscriptions to the DJS have been put on hold owing to the fact
that I haven’t published a journal since 2007! (However, I trust you will be grateful for the ‘extras’ I
have included in your postbags when I have sent out the DJ Xmas newsletters.)
Accordingly, I now put out a call for subscriptions to the DJS to cover
2012-13. The cost of joining the DJS remains a paltry £20.00pp, corporate
membership is £40.00. For that, members will receive a copy of the Journal and
hard copies of newsletters and any other material about events and activities
relating to the DJS. If you do not join the DJS, you will still be informed of
DJS activities by email, but will not receive the Journals, or any hard copy. For
anyone paying in Euros, please pay E36 & make your cheques out to Anne
Price-Owen, so that there will be no bank charges on changing currency. For
those living elsewhere, may I suggest you change your own currency into £pounds
sterling and post the cash to the DJS. Alternatively, if you are paying in $US,
then the cost is 45$US, which should cover bank charges. For anyone insisting
on paying by Visa, then please contact me so that we may come to a mutually
beneficial arrangement.</span><span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Times New Roman";"></span></div>

I have been very slow in updating this website and as a result have much to report. I intended to post on November 1 in honor of David Jones's birthday but now we are at November 11, Armistice Day, and another day important to Jones.
I will begin with the most recent information and work my way back.<br />
<br />
1. <b>Derek Shiel's first film is now available for viewing through a weblink.</b> I have this email from Adam Alive, Derek Shiel's collaborator on the first and second films.
The first documentary film in a trilogy commissioned by the David Jones Society, <i>In Search of David Jones: Artist, Soldier, Poet</i> can be viewed, freely, online at: <a href="http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xu9moy_in-search-of-david-jones-artist-soldier-poet_creation" target="_blank">http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xu9moy_in-search-of-david-jones-artist-soldier-poet_creation</a> (or you can try googling 'dailymotion' and then enter 'in search of david jones'). Images of David Jones, his numerous war drawings and other works are interwoven with footage of First World War battle-sites as we hear about his time in the trenches, his work with the artist Eric Gill, his spiritual development and the writing of his epic war poem 'In Parenthesis'. Contributors include Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury, Gillian Clarke, National Poet of Wales, art critic Richard Cork and writer Owen Sheers. Running time 49 minutes.
The second film, <i>David Jones Between the Wars: The Years of Achievement</i> celebrates his artistic and literary achievements during the interwar years and, again, includes Rowan Williams along with art historians Paul Hills and Frances Spalding. Screening at arts and cultural venues in the UK until March 2013, it should then be available online by the early summer, subject to finance for reproduction licences.
The third film <i>David Jones: Innovation and Consolidation</i> is currently in production.<br />
<br />
2. <b>David Jones: Culture and Artifice</b>, the conference last April in Washington,, was a great success. We heard talks from Bill Blissett, Anne Price-Owen, Tom Dilworth, Paul Robichaud, Kathleen Staudt, Jasmine Hunter-Evans, Nora Delaney, Tom Durham, and Fr. Johhn David Ramsey. Brad Haas, who directs the Honors Program at Washington Adventist University, worked to organize the conference, in some consultation with me as the other local Washington person. A highlight was an evening of jazz and reading that featured a fabulous reading by Tom Durham. A gallery show featuring book illustrations from Brad's (and some from John David Ramsey's) collections gave many of us a chance to see works we hadn't seen firsthand before. And we were blessed with the attendance of a number of very engaged undergraduate students from the University. We are hoping to publish some of the papers from the conference in the future and I've been in touch with people individually about that. More soon!<br />
<br />
3. <b>Anne Price-Owen reports on a number of gatherings of the David Jones society in the UK</b> this past fall, with a few members of the North American branch in attendance. I was sorry to miss the Inaugural conference launching the David Jones Center at the University of Wales Aberystwyth. See more on this at <a href="http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/english/conferences/david-jones-centre/">http://www.aber.ac.uk/en/english/conferences/david-jones-centre/</a> The David Jones Society in the UK also hosted a walk through Rotherhithe in late September.<br />
<br />
4.<b>Facebook Group: "Venator Formarum" </b>I want to make sure everyone is aware of the facebook page, "Venator Formarum, the David Jones exchange. Available <a href="https://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#%21/groups/301463734778/?fref=ts">here</a> if you're on facebook. Tom Goldpaugh reports in that thread that he has posted on academia.edu an expanded version of his Washington paper, "David Jones: Toward a Eucharistic Theory of Art." Read it <a href="http://marist.academia.edu/TomGoldpaugh">here.</a><br />

The conference, to be held at Washington Adventist Uniiversity March 29-30, will include an art exhibit, academic papers and discussions, a poetry reading, and the North American premiere of the film "David Jones between the Wars: The Years of Achievement" a new feature length documentary by Derek Shiel and Adam Alive.(Kathy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12902130380750428139noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146678098480617679.post-37375085932807788372011-11-01T05:50:00.000-07:002011-11-08T18:29:07.806-08:00David Jones: Culture and Artifice: Conference in Washington DC March 30-31, 2012<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-osYsWd2tCGM/Tq_sDO0qu7I/AAAAAAAABuo/OqKqlRzMrPc/s1600/jonahcitydetail2b.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 227px; height: 304px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-osYsWd2tCGM/Tq_sDO0qu7I/AAAAAAAABuo/OqKqlRzMrPc/s320/jonahcitydetail2b.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5670009996145507250" /></a><br />Brad Haas sent out this note on <span style="font-weight:bold;">1 November 2011</span><br /><br />The birthday of David Jones seems an appropriate time to announce an exhibition and a conference devoted to his work taking place at Washington Adventist University on March 30-31, 2012. <br />The conference, sponsored by the WAU Honors Program, is titled “David Jones: Culture & Artifice,” seeks to explore DJ’s cultural theory, and how he uses artifice to confront the issues of modern culture. This should allow for a wide range of paper topics. A “Call For Papers” sheet is attached (please feel free to distribute this to those who would find it of interest).<br />In addition to the conference, there will be an exhibition of DJ’s major book illustrations, by chance coinciding with an exhibition of similar works at the National Library of Wales. The WAU exhibition will feature over fifty items, with many lifetime proofs of engravings, including complete illustrations from:<br /> * A Child’s Rosary Book (from the Rosary Calendar, 1931)<br /> * The Book of Jonah<br /> * The Chester Play of the Deluge <br /> * The Rime of the Ancient Mariner<br />There will also be some early rarities and stand-alone prints. In all roughly one quarter of DJ’s entire output of engravings will be on display. <br />It is hoped that this event will bring together a number of DJ experts to present an array of interesting papers, and that this will bring DJ to the attention of a wider audience. Students, faculty, and community members will be attending.<br />As a bonus, all conference members are invited to stay through Saturday to attend the annual Keough Lectures, presented by the WAU Theology Department. This year Professor Leland Ryken from the English Department at Wheaton College has been invited to speak on the Bible as Literature. Professor Ryken has an impressive list of over thirty publications, and in addition to his expertise on the Bible, he is also a recognized C.S. Lewis scholar. We intend to ask Professor Ryken to join us for at least part of the DJ conference, and it seems that there could be some interesting crossover between the two events.<br />Spring is an excellent time of year to visit the Washington, D.C. area. The WAU campus is conveniently located for relatively easy access to the city and its cultural treasures.<br />On behalf of Kathy Staudt and myself, I hope that many of you are able to attend this event, and we look forward to reading your proposals.<br /><br />Best wishes,<br /><br />Bradford Haas<br />Director, Honors Program<br />Assistant Professor, English<br />Washington Adventist University<br />E-mail: bhaas@wau.edu(Kathy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12902130380750428139noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2146678098480617679.post-9140356342875901462011-05-25T20:07:00.000-07:002011-11-01T05:55:52.234-07:00David Jones: Culture and Artifice: Conference in Washington DC March 30-31, 2012Everyone -- somewhat belatedly I'm posting this news from Anne Price-Owen, who edits the newsletter for the DJ Society in the UK: Here's the full newsletter. <br /><br />23 May 2011<br /><br />Dear Friends<br /><br />This letter has a double function. Firstly, it contains a summary of news which members who receive emails should have seen over the past 5 months. Those friends who don’t access a computer now have the chance of catching up with information which most of you have received. I apologize for the delay in sending news of the DJS to you; I realize that some of you may feel rather compromised by this, but I trust you will forgive my lack of correspondence. I hope very much to remedy this in the late Summer when I shall have officially retired from my academic duties at Swansea Met. I’m hoping by that time that I’ll have the DJS website up and running, so that all members will have the opportunity of accessing news online, provided our libraries aren’t closed down! (Can’t think what David Jones would have said about that.) Of course, I shall also find time to write more frequently than I have over the past couple of years. For similar reasons, I also apologize for not sending out a journal – I haven’t time to proof it and select & insert images that complement the text pieces.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Donald Allchin and Anne Morris</span><br />The year commenced on a sad note when we learned of the death of Canon A.M. (Donald) Allchin who died in Oxford on 23 Dec. 2010. He was a tremendous scholar, and an informed writer, and a man who greatly admired poetry. Many of you will have met him at conferences and seminars, and on our pilgrimage to N.Wales. He was 80 years old, and since its inception was an inspiration and wonderful support to the DJS. I also have to report the sad passing of Anne Morris, who was a little younger than Donald when she died on 21 March. Anne was another indefatigable supporter of the DJS who lived close to me in Sketty, and will also be severely missed by all who knew her. (I have no-one to help me with the envelope-stuffing, and to advise me of art sales where DJ works were going up for auction. Where is my Friend?) Anne was a collector of art, and was delighted to show her works off. The fact that she bought so much art – even though at times we wondered where she’d put it all (her final purchase was a tapestry by Muriel Clements which she commissioned for a particular space in her hall! – meant that she gave artists financial help as well as much encouragement.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Walk at Capel-y-ffin</span><br />Anne had already told me she would be attending this year’s DJS event. After taking account of the preferences of the DJS Friends, a Walk is confirmed. The Walk at Capel-y-ffin will take place on Saturday 24 September. We shall meet at 11.30am at the little church, (not the monastery on the adjacent hill where DJ lived: that is private property). David Alston, Head of Visual Arts, Arts Council of Wales, will lead the Walk. David is an expert on the locale and I’ve had the privilege of being on his walks in the past. They are inspirational, and we shall see the places where DJ stood in order to create some of his great landscapes in the area. Moreover, the grazing ponies on these Welsh hill-slopes usually oblige us with a pose typical of DJ’s view of them! We shall have a break for lunch during the walk, and the pace will be determined by the slowest walker. It’s advisable to be prepared for cool weather – let’s hope it’s not wet, bur as we’ll be doing a bit of slow hill climbing where the winds usually whirl about – remember all those scurrying clouds enthusiastically articulated by DJ? Well, you’ll probably experience them! The walk is free, but lunch will be supplied at a cost of £5.00.<br /><br />May I recommend that you may wish to stay in Hay-on-Wye, where there is plenty of accommodation, from first-rate hotels to pleasant B&B houses. After the walk and on our return to Hay, it would be good to meet up at a restaurant for dinner. I can book one for us, if that’s what you’d like – but you must let me know. I shall be spending the week-end in Hay and will have my car there. Other friends will also be driving. There should be enough cars for everyone to get to Capel. (There is no point in organizing coach transport owing to the narrow, winding lanes that lead to the Honddu valley.) If you have a car, you may be asked to take extra passengers, but you will not be obliged to do so.<br /><br />Those members who saw <span style="font-style:italic;">Framing Wales</span>, a series of 4 programmes broadcast on BBC Wales TV in February & March, where David Jones was featured in the first two programmes, will have the opportunity of seeing some reproductions of his works which were shown to the nation.<br /><br />The following day, 25 September, one of the friends local to the area, William Gibbs, has very kindly invited DJS friends to his house near Abergavenny, where he has a wonderful collection of art. William is a stalwart of the Brecknock Museum in Brecon, and was instrumental in collecting some works of David Jones for the art gallery. We shall leave Hay at 2.00pm on Sunday to drive to William’s house. For anyone staying in the area for several days, Abergavenny may be an alternative town that you might wish to make your base. Pauline Griffiths runs ‘The Art Shop’ on Cross Street and offers an enormous amount of artists’ materials for sale. She also curates the exhibitions in one of the most charming galleries you’re likely to encounter, which is above the shop. T Fenni Castle is nearby, as well as other historic buildings, among them St Mary’s Church (founded in 1087), which has a wealth of history displayed in carvings and tombs, and especially the ‘Tree of Jesse’, a monolithic carving from oak, which<br />dates back to the C15th. The Tithe Barn is also worth a visit. And Brecon, with its<br />medieval history, Cathedral, river and canal, is not far away.<br /><br />Likewise, Monnow Valley Arts is close to Abergavenny. When Rupert Otten relocated his gallery, Wolseley Fine Arts, he selected on of the most tranquil valleys on the borders! Monnow Valley Arts includes a sculpture park with permanent and temporary displays, beautiful gardens and a delightful split level gallery. Rupert specialises in works on paper, and frequently features shows of image and text, in keeping with David Jones. Apart from hosting day symposia on specific topics, he keeps a good stock of David Jones’ and Eric Gill’s works. His current exhibition, ‘The Romantic Landscape in Wales’ includes works by John Piper, Graham Sutherland & Ralph Maynard Smith, together with ‘Images of Herefordshire’ by Reg Boulton. Rupert has a very wide range of works on paper for his 2011 showcase portfolio, and these can be purchased from him: ph.01873 860525 or email, info@wolseleyfinearts.com<br /><br />There is just one publication that you may wish to source: Tom Dilworth’s article appeared in the TLS, 4 February, about DJ’s very first poem complete poem. It demonstrates DJ’s sense of humour and fun. Tom have it the working title of ‘Lecher Hague’, and the TLS title to Tom’s commentary is ‘Under Arrest’. You’ll enjoy it…<br /><br />Many of you will be familiar with Brenda Chamberlain’s work, especially those who visited Bardsey Island on the NWales tour in 2005, where we saw her mural on the house she lived in, memories of which are recorded in her first autobiographical novel <span style="font-style:italic;">Tide Race.</span> I attach information concerning her works on Bardsey, in the likelihood that you will support the enthusiasts who are determined to preserve her works on the island. I know the sum of £1000 is beyond the reach of many of you, but you may wish to pledge some money – however small – to ensure that her work is preserved for future generations of admirers of the visual (& literary) arts. The DJS is also pledging money on its members’ behalf.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Dates for the Diary:</span> A celebration of David Jones’s visual art will be hung at the National Gallery and Museum of Wales, Cardiff, from 5 Nov 2011 – 4 March 2012. This should give many of you an opportunity to visit the gallery and see the Museum’s collection of David’s visual work. Oliver Fairclough,<br />the curator of the show has offered to give guided tours to the DJS, and I would be happy to liaise with Oliver to offer a date(s), which Friends might like to consider. We could see the show early in November, or alternatively in February (as well?). Perhaps you can make suggestions as to your preference and Oliver & I shall do our <span style="font-weight:bold;">best to accommodate you.<br /><br />Opportunities:</span><br />For all interested in literature in Wales and walking, Llenyddiaeth Cymru/ Literature Wales have organized alternative tours as follows: Sat 11 June: Idris Davies in the Rhymney Valley; Sat 18 June: Owen Sheers, Resistence in the Olchon Valley; Sat 30 June: J.R.R. Tolkein’s Wales in the Black Mountains; Sat 24 Sept – oops! Clash!! – T. Harri Jones in Llanafan Fawr. Prices vary for these tours, so contact: ph.029 20472266, or email, post@literaturewales.org<br /><br />As if that isn’t enough literature to be going on with, The Manchester Fiction Prize 2011, is £10.000, for the best new short story of up to 3,000 words in length. Contact James Draper for more details/application form: ph:0161<br />2471787, or j.draper@mmu.ac.uk<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Film: <span style="font-style:italic;">David Jones Between the Wars</span><span style="font-style:italic;"></span> on David Jones</span><br />I would like to thank personally, together with Derek Shiel and Adam Alive, those friends who have contributed funds for the final stages of Derek’s new film, <span style="font-style:italic;">David Jones Between the Wars.</span> We are all very grateful, and look forward to seeing the film.<br /><br />Finally, please let me know if you wish to join is on 24 September. I trust this<br />letter finds you all well.<br /><br />With every good wish for the Summer,<br /><br />Anne<br /><br />NB If you have an email address, please let me have it to add to the e-version,<br />and you will receive DJS news before it goes out of date!

Most interesting were the voices inspired by David Jones's Roman poems -- Carlo performed part of "The Fatigue" in cockney voice, per David Jones's suggestion in the preface to In Parenthesis, to set up the voice of his own Roman captain, one Severinus. A terrific performance. Read more <a href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?shva=1#search/Carlo+Parcelli/12e086fe6bdd47db">here</a> on Carlo's one-man show. It was good to meet up with Carlo, as well as Rosalie, and Brad Haas and Jack Foley, all from the Flashpoint team.<br /><br /><br />Anne Price-Owen was interviewed for a BBC segment on David Jones, in a series they're doing on the art of Wales.

Tom recently published an article entitled "To Make (and Unmake) a Shape in Words: David Jones and the Continuation of The Anathemata: fragments of an attempted writing," in a volume entitled <a href="http://www.lcdpu.fr/livre/?GCOI=27000100829030&fa=description">Left Out: Texts and Ur-Texts</a>, published by Textes universitaires de Nancy.<br /><br />Saskya Jain presented a paper entitled "Performing Allusion in David Jones’s In Parenthesis" at the conference of the Association of Literary Scholars, Critics and Writers (<a href="http://www.bu.edu/literary/conferences/">ALSCW</a>) in Princeton November 5-7, 2010. A longer version of this paper, entitled "Ancestral Memory, Ancient Unity: Footnotes as Poetic Device in David Jones’s In Parenthesis," is forthcoming in <a href="http://litimag.oxfordjournals.org/">Literary Imagination</a>.<br /><br />Nora Delaney, of Boston University, also presented a paper at the ALSCW conference. Her paper, "'Things Laid Up From Other Things': Allusion in the Work of David Jones," at the ALSCW conference in Princeton on November 6. considered allusion in In Parenthesis, and also drew on Anathemata. Nora is completing work on a paper entitled "Portrait or Self-Portrait? René Hague Editing the Letters of David Jones." <br /><br />Kathleen Staudt is just back from travels to England and Wales, where she was interviewed by <a href="http://www.flashpointmag.com/shieljones.htm">Derek Shiel</a> for the documentary film "David Jones Between the Wars," a work in progress produced by Adam Alive.

She gives a good report on the St. David's Day conference, where we decided to inaugurate a north American chapter of the David Jones Society. This blog is our first publication. Here's what Anne writes:<br /><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold;">Good Friday/ Holy Saturday, 2009<br /></div><br />Dear Member<br /><br />On St David’s Day some of us were fortunate enough to celebrate the first Sunday in Lent at Washington Cathedral, where the Dean preached an excellent sermon. As we were staying in Cathedral College in the Cathedral precincts, we had the opportunity of meeting the Dean, when he and some clergy joined us in the dining hall for Sunday lunch. I applauded him on his address: anyone who can convince me that ‘Lent is a gift’, is deserving of praise.<br /><br />12.00noon Good Friday: the Archdeacon at St Paul’s Church, Sketty, led a 3 hour service of reflection and meditation on St Mark’s gospel, Ch. 16. The documentation of betrayal, trial and silence was followed by the rejection and scourging and ultimate replacing of Jesus by the guilty Bar-abbas – literally the figure of the son of a man – defines the ransom of the Divine Being that expiated mankind’s negative qualities and redeemed us, through His death and burial. For those who have Faith, this most solemn of days is the prelude, or the end of the beginning, of Hope: the underlying Easter message of the Man of Sorrows. To a David Jones devotee, the whole service was shot through with Jonesian poetic allusions and a number of visual works (‘Christus Sanctus at Capel-y-ffin’ ‘The Scourging of Christ’, ‘The Crucifixion’, ‘The Ancient Mariner”(vi), etc., where metaphor meets parody, and anamnesis and wonder are everywhere implied. By the time you receive this letter, the shame and horror will be over, and joy will abound.<br />A Happy Easter to you all.<br /><br />Holy Saturday, 11 April: The conference, Faith, Art & Poetry in a Post-Christian Era, was extremely successful and Kathleen Henderson Staudt deserves our congratulations for organizing a splendid week-end of events:<br /><br />On 27 Feb., at the Lauinger Library, University of Georgetown, we were welcomed by John Butchel who was responsible for curating a most informative exhibition of the Library’s holdings of David Jones material. Before being escorted to the show, Derek Shiel gave a splendid talk on his film, David Jones: Artist, Soldier, Poet (2007), and also informed us of his plans to make a sequel dealing with David Jones at Capel-y-ffin. This is something for all DJ fans to look forward to. After the screening of the film, there was an elegant reception and a chance to look at the exhibition. Regrettably, we really required more time than was available to us, and some decided to return to the Library on Sunday afternoon. However, a thick fall of snow on Saturday night & Sunday deterred even the most determined of us! But we did get the chance to meet David Jones’ old friend Michael Richey who had contributed substantial material to the DJ display.<br /> <br />On our return to the College, we had a brief discussion led by Kathleen Staudt and Esther de Waal on David Jones and his significance in this 21st century (secular) culture. Not than one would have realized this description of our era by the attendees: there was a frisson of collective goodness (by no means pious), which we encountered by the people engaging with the conversation. Although all were Christian, there was an elemental, underlying ethos of felicity, of being alive to the needs of others, which is seldom encountered among diverse groups these days.<br /> <br />We were engrossed by Prof William Blissett’s memories of ‘Seventy years with David Jones’ where he outlined his own career and scholarship, with wonderful anecdotes about his meetings with DJ and their correspondence. In a proper anamnesis address he covered publications, exhibitions, events and DJ Society meetings. In all, he made a brilliantly apposite start to the papers presented throughout Sat., 28 Feb. Dr Anne Price-Owen demonstrated DJ’s methods of ‘Materializing the Immaterial: the Word Made Image’, by examining DJ’s visual art in the context of his poetry. A number of the images she displayed were enhanced by Esther de Waal’s looped visual presentation of the hilly landscapes in ‘Encountering David Jones in the Welsh Borderlands’, where ‘the stone/ the fronded wood/ the fonted water’, were impressed on his consciousness. As if to underline these concepts, Rev Dr Calum MacFarlane drew parallels between DJ and Gerard Manley Hopkins with his topic ‘There is no Escape from Incarnation’, where he argued that both poets bewailed the increasing rule of technology in society which robs mankind of effective signs, thus devaluing our means of praising God. The artistic process, poesis, engages with the sacramental particularities that show forth in Jones’s work, like Hopkins’s inscapes. Negated by the subordination of ritual, the fundamental essence of signs is denied by shoddy materialism. Advancing this theme, Bradford Haas illustrated his study of ‘The Anathemata as Dynamic Object’ by showing images together with his own diagrams to demonstrate that this poem is ‘an effective showing forth [of ] the loved and known’, and convinced us that it is indeed a radiant object or sign that signifies itself. Dr Thomas Goldpaugh focused on The Grail Mass in an extraordinary elucidation of his title, ‘It’s a Great Robbery it is: David Jones and the Cost of Empire’. By dissecting the five Roman poems, he teased out their interrelationship with one another in a close investigation of the different characters and their musings and reflections on globalization at the cost of individuality and diversity, thus justifying the impact of the past on the present, on the future. In ‘Revisiting a Long Conversation with David Jones’s Poetry: “The Sagging end and Chapter’s Close?”’, Kathleen Henderson Staudt, in many ways welcomed herself back to a study of DJ after her years of ‘motherhood’, by interrogating DJ’s language. The ‘efficacious sign’ is the Latin Mass, which makes sense of everything, and which provides us with a language of how we make things. The artist is a creator, this is the first sign; making is a common activity, and making is sacramental because it uses material beyond itself. ‘A new thing with its own way of life’ is made, and this is a prayerful process. The finished work becomes a communication between people, and the sharing in the work invites the viewer into an understanding of the process, the prayer. And when one or two are gathered together … Well! Is there any more to be said?<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Diary Dates: </span>21 April, Derek Shiel will present his Sculpted Sound in conjunction with the Estorick Collection of Italian Art & the Central School of Speech & Drama, Embassy Theatre, Eton Avenue, NW3 3HY.

Most members will be familiar with his inscription ‘Pwy Yw R Gwr’(1956), and that it was not hung in the Carmelite Chapel for which it had been commissioned. Happily, the words will soon be installed in a chapel on the Gower Peninsula, at a small, circular, hand-built sanctuary by the sculptor, Philip Chatfield. A stone caver, Philip, who trained with Jonah Jones who was so impressed by his work that he gave Philip Eric Gill’s hammer! (Eric had given it to Jonah during his training at Gill’s studio.) Philip has been commissioned to build the chapel for the pilgrim centre at Nicholaston House, Penmaer, Gower. He is currently carving the lettering on a stone dado that flows with the internal perimeter of the Chapel. It is anticipated that this large sculpture will be consecrated in September.<br />The English translation of DJ’s inscription has been given to me ‘on a plate’ for this letter’s not quite final quotation:<br />Who is the man who wears the Crown<br />Holy God with wounds beneath His chest<br />Pure+Sacrifice Holy+Sacrifice<br />Immaculate+Sacrifice<br /><br />Owing to the content of this newsletter there has been an emphasis on religion, especially Christianity, and I trust that our friends who do not subscribe to any religion, or those who are agnostic or atheist, may take comfort from another Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, whom David Jones admired:<br />And death shall have no more dominion<br /> Dead men naked they shall be one<br /> With the man in the wind and the west moon …<br />…<br />They shall have stars at elbow and foot …<br />…<br /> Though lovers be lost, love shall not<br /> And death shall have no dominion.<br /><br />So, enjoy the season when ‘The force that through the green fuse drives the flower’, drives us on to better things.<br /><br />Peace, blessings and all sorts of good things,<br /><br /><br />Anne<br /> <br />PS The Journal has been held up again by an article on DJ that I’ve just completed for Agenda Poetry magazine, and an essay shortly to be published on a local Glynneath artist, Ken Elias, and by preparing a paper for the Cathedral College Conference, and by the preparation of the Seminar in Cambridge. Very soon, I’ll get my priorities right and get back to completing the editing for the next DJJ.<br /><br />NB ALL CONTRIBUTORS TO THE SEMINAR<br />There are no black-outs at Kettle’s Yard, so no projector for slides, powerpoint, etc. IF you wish to present images with your talk, then please send me a CD with your pictures scanned in at 300dpi, and I will do a print-run of them for the seminar. Each guest will have a presentation pack of images to accompany your talk.<br />Alternatively, send me a colour copy of your images, and I’ll make multiple copies to bring to the Seminar for you.(Kathy)http://www.blogger.com/profile/12902130380750428139noreply@blogger.com1
