by Jon Dressel (Author)

JON DRESSEL passed away in April 2024 while putting the final touches on this collection of verse. He was a versatile and prize winning poet in both English and Welsh. A dairyman, college teacher, and pub proprietor in Saint Louis, Dressel spent some years in Wales, pursuing an interest in ancestors. He mastered the language, history, and spirit of the Welsh. He was a patriot and bard of Missouri and Wales, both troubled borderlands. His poetic subjects were not only historical. He was uniquely imaginative and a poignant observer of private life.

From the Foreword by Catharine Savage Brosman:
Jon Dressel “was a splendid poet with too little recognition…. This welcome volume of selected writings offers an opportunity for the American literary public to appreciate Dressel’s contributions. Southern readers … should add it to their lists.” Number of Pages: 150 Dimensions: 0.32 x 9 x 6 IN Publication Date: November 21, 2024
