My name is George Dance; I operate a poetry wiki, Penny’s Poetry Pages. I recently added an article on the Internet Poetry Archive, and links to its poems on the articles on the individual poets archived. I was hoping to add a brief article on you, but not this brief; I can’t find any biographical information on you at all. Can you help by directing me to, or providing me with, something I can use to construct an article? Any assistance you can give me will be appreciated.

I’ll be glad to provide more and more literary than the above if you like. The Vitae is a start or:
Paul Jones has published poems widely (and narrowly) for many years. His poems have appeared in Poetry (Chicago), Ironwood, and Georgia Review among others.

Recently his poems have been included in a cookbook (“Sound Of Poets Cooking” Jacar Press), two travel books (“Literary Trails of the North Carolina Piedmont” UNC Press and “27 Views of Chapel Hill” Eno Publishers) and in “Best American Erotic Poems: 1800 – Present” (Scribner).
