Under Milk Wood - A Play for Voices

Between 1946 and 1949, with proximity to London for film and broadcasting work, the family lived in or near Oxford. 1949 saw a return to Laugharne, to the now famous Boat House. From 1950 on, the poet''s attention was given mainly to completing Under Milk Wood, a ''Play for Voices'' that had grown out of his work for radio and film, and from his experience of New Quay and Laugharne. His growing renown led to four lecturing tours of the United States, where a collection of late poems, In Country Sleep, was published in 1952. The same year saw the publication of his Collected Poems 1934-1952, to wide acclaim. Under Milk Wood received its first readings with actors at the Poetry Center of the Young Men''s and Young Women''s Hebrew Association in New York in May and October 1953. Dylan Thomas died in New York on 9 November 1953 from excessive drinking and medical mistreatment. He is buried at Laugharne.<>...
