No poetry has touched readers' hearts more deeply than the soldier poets of the First World War. Published to commemorate the centenary of 1914, this stunning set of books, with specially commissioned covers by leading print makers, is an essential gathering of our most beloved war poets introduced by leading poets and biographers of our present day.'In Parenthesis was first published in London in 1937. I am proud to share the responsibility for that first publication. On reading the book in typescript I was deeply moved. I then regarded it, and still regard it, as a work of genius... Here is a book about the experience of one soldier in the war of 1914-18. It is also a book about War, and about many other things also, such as Roman Britain, the Arthurian Legend, and divers matters which are given association by the mind of the writer.' T.S. Eliot'This writing has to do with some things I saw, felt, and was part of ': with quiet modesty, David Jones begins a work that is among the most powerful imaginative efforts to grapple with the carnage of the First World War. Fusing poetry and prose, gutter talk and high music, wartime terror and ancient myth, Jones, who served as an infantryman on the Western Front, presents a picture at once panoramic and intimate of a world of interminable waiting and unforeseen death. And yet throughout he remains alert to the flashes of humanity that light up the wasteland of war.' W.S. Merwin… (mehr)

A poet's account of his WWI experience written in poetic prose and dialect. Yeats and Eliot loved it, and I suppose they might have. ( )

A witness to the trench warfare of WWI. Such beautiful, yet powerful prose and poetry for such a horrible time/place. If you let Jones draw you in to the story, (which may mean slipping past much of the slang, Welsh, and archaic language, and literary references), you can ride on this river with its wide slow currents interrupted at times with sudden rapids. I recommend reading the first time through with only occasionally interrupting the flow by referring to the author's notes. It's quite a ride. ( )

This was an incredible poem. Jones takes us there, in the trenches, to view the war unbridled by propaganda. He puts us in the view of the soldiers, the common men, and the officers that were torn from their country to try and ensure the war would come to an end. It's an incredible piece of literature and it's no wonder why Pound thought this was amazing.

4 stars- rightfully earned. ( )

I couldn't finish this book. It began promisingly enough with the author making some observations about some of the more mundane aspects of drill and parade; but before long the book lapses into impenetrability, with Eliot and Joyce merging with Malory and the Mabinogion. I drifted out of In Parenthesis and couldn't get back into it again. ( )

Non-fictional account of David Jones's experience on the Western Front in the First World War. Written as a prose poem with heavy emphasis on Welsh epic literature. Jones was deeply scarred by the war, but his account of service in the Welch Regiment is as accurate as can be.
