Extractions: David Michael Jones was born on November 1, 1895, in Kent, England, to parents of English and Welsh ancestry who encouraged his artistic endeavors and his early preoccupation with drawing. From 1909-1914, Jones studied drawing at the Camberwell Art School. He enlisted in the Royal Welsh Fusiliers in January, 1915, and served as a private on the Western Front from December, 1915, to March, 1918; this experience provided the basis for one of his major poetic works, In Parenthesis . After the war, Jones received a government grant to study drawing and painting at the Westminister School of Art, and his experience as a visual artist who also did engravings and illustrations influenced his poetry and his attempts to illustrate content through form. In 1921, Jones converted to Roman Catholicism. Jones' reliance on tradition and history, including Catholic and Welsh tradition and history, also influenced his writings. His works include The Anathemata The Dream of Private Clitus Epoch and Artist , and The Sleeping Lord . His awards include a Doctorate of Letters from the University of Wales, the Russell Loines Memorial Award for poetry from the American National Institute of Arts and Letters, and the Eisteddfod Gold Medal. Although he suffered a series of physical and mental breakdowns in the late 1920's, and later suffered from ill health and depression which his psychiatrist attempted to alleviate. Jones continued to write, and began doing radio broadcasts of his work. American publishers also began to issue copies of his poetry. He died on October 28, 1974, at Calvary Nursing Home.
