- *"Rejoice, ReJoyce greatly, that this shining treasury of multiple possibilities, of new open forms beyond formalities, is suddenly to hand." * **from the Introduction by Michael Horovitz **"Original, playful and very inventive, *The Language Game is timeless." * **Elaine Feeney **"The Language Game is a breath-taking and mind-bending journey into the wizardry, music and mad science of language. A bubbling cauldron of brilliant ideas and experimental form playfully executed to perfection-each poem shimmers with its rejoice in the spell craft of poetry. No-one else is writing like this in Ireland."**Stephen Murray **"Timothy Emlyn Jones's The Language Game is, particularly in the Irish context, an exceptional work of poetry. He is a poet profoundly influenced by a particular version of experimental poetics… But he also has a fundamental grasp of poetic form, which he uses in a most playful way. In common with other experimental poets on these islands, Jones knows that language is a means of ideology, and not to be taken at face value. Unlike many of them, he knows other things too, such as what "monetarism" was. He absolutely gets my vote."**Kevin Higgins **
- About The Author
- Timothy Emlyn Jones discovered his impulse for poetry at art school in London and Paris. The interplay and tensions between visuality and language which he discovered at that time-the modality of the eye versus the modality of the tongue-have remained with him, informing and unifying his practice as an artist, poet, and educationist.This Welsh-Irish poet has published with a number of small presses, including Arrowspire and Beau Geste, and his collection Proposition: Nowhere as Here and Now was published by Embryo Books in Glasgow. He is represented in four anthologies: Grandchildren of Albion, ed. Michael Horovitz, New Departures; the GCSE reader, Poems in Your Pocket, ed. Mike Ferguson, Pearson Education, Longman; Seeing In The Dark, ed. Ian Breakwell, Serpents Tail; and, Brought To Book, ed. Ian Breakwell, Penguin.As an artist he exhibits internationally and is represented in public collections in several countries. He has held professorships at Wimbledon College of Art, Glasgow School of Art, Xi'an Academy of Fine Arts, and Burren College of Art/ University of Galway, as well as having been a visitor at many art schools including MIT, The School of The Art Institute of Chicago, and Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. He lives in the Burren, Ireland.This collection comprises both earlier and later poems including some that originated in performance art, installations, posters and public graffiti.www.timothyemlynjones.com
