Collected Poems 1934-1953

Informationen zum Autor Dylan Thomas , born in Swansea, Wales, is one of the best-loved poets of the 20th century. He began work on Under Milk Wood , his 'play for voices' when he was just a teenager and finished it soon before his untimely death. This text and these characters are beloved across the world. Klappentext Newly packaged and re-launched edition of this collection of poems, selected and introduced by Thomas himself. The definitive collection of Dylan Thomas' poetic ouevre. Zusammenfassung The definitive edition of Dylan Thomas's five published volumes of poems: 18 POEMS, TWENTY-FIVE POEMS, THE MAP OF LOVE, DEATHS AND ENTRANCES and IN COUNTRY SLEEP. Dylan Thomas wrote passionately about life in all its moods and moments: from the first thrilling moments of childbirth to the darker moments of death and loss. COLLECTED POEMS is introduced by the poet himself with a passionate seashore 'Prologue', in which the self-styled Noah of poetry builds his ark against ruin. This edition includes his last, unfinished poem 'Elegy', and the opening of 'In Country Heaven' - an ambitious project conceived after the dropping of the atom bomb.
