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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrom the Foreword by Catharine Savage Brosman: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJon Dressel \"was a splendid poet with too little recognition....
