The topic of the lecture is how to approach epic poems.
Jones engages his students by giving a brief background about the author before getting into the poem and presenting audio visual material pertaining to the author.
Jones, who will soon complete his first year of teaching at GHC, wanted to stay close to home while educating students.
"I'm from Calhoun, so northwest Georgia is my home," said Jones.
"I believe in community, and that's why I work at GHC."
Along with holding a Master's Degree of Fine Arts in Poetry, Jones is a musician and outdoorsman.
Jones is a singer and guitar player with three bands, Clayton Jones and the Mad Poets, Groundhawgs and Jones True.
Jones also loves many outdoor activities. He enjoys going hunting, going fishing and golfing.
Calling himself a "foodie," Jones says he enjoys cooking with his wife, who is a chef.
Dishes that he likes to make include curried sweet potatoes, oyster stew, steak and BBQ.
