In Parenthesis (New York Review Books) di David Jones
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.… (altro)
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.
