Notă biografică

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea in 1914, where he worked as a reporter on the local newspaper. He published his first volume of poetry, 18 Poems, when he was just twenty years old. Thereafter, bohemian literary life in London alternated with some more positively creative periods back in Wales. He had a celebrated career as a writer for radio and film, and he continued to publish poetry and short stories. From 1950 onwards, Thomas' attention was given mainly to completing his most famous work, Under Milk Wood: A Play for Voices. The poet died in New York in 1953 and is buried at Laugharne.

Recenzii

A tour de force of oral poetry which oozes word pictures and onomatopoeic musicality
Dylan Thomas disturbed the roots of our language in an organic way and gave it a new vitality
Roguish, prancing, with blazing characters and lines. The words dizzied me, their grandeur, their wit
A dazzling combination of poetic fireworks and music-hall humor
It would be hard for any work of art to communicate more directly and funnily and lovingly what it is like to be alive
