Seventy poems, 1934-53.
Most notable for his verbal inventiveness, image-making power and almost pagan metaphysics, Dylan Thomas celebrated the glorious particulars of inner and outer landscapes in the face of weakness, mortality and decay. Here, through seventy of his most remarkable poems, his craftsmanship and relish for the spoken word communicate an exultant humanity.
This selection spans the controversial poet's writing lifetime - from his first collection '18 Poems', published to instant acclaim at the age of twenty, to his last, unfinished poem about his father's death.
The only edition available, with introduction, detailed explanatory notes and chronology of Thomas's life.
