T.H. Jones was unusual if not unique, in that throughout a significant part of his creative life, he maintained, in bound manuscript volume, a copy of every poem he completed - the Black Book . This volume contains his complete poetry and provides a unique chronological evocation of a poet s life, loves, aspirations and despairs, from adolescence to premature death. The collection documents the life and emotions of an English-speaking Welshman who came to maturity in a historical period of worldwide turmoil. After a short period as a student at Aberystwyth, Jones volunteered for military service during the Second World War, and as a Signals Telegraphist aboard a minesweeper in the Mediterranean underwent experiences both frightening and formative. After the war he taught English in Portsmouth and then emigrated to Australia to become a lecturer at the new University of South Wales, a post which he held until the end of his life in 1965. The Complete Poems of T. H. Jones will present something unique an authenticated picture of the genesis, development and achievement of maturity of a significant artist.
