More About the Author
Product Description
Book Description
Collected poems reissued to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Dylan Thomas's death.
Product Description
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.

Format:Paperback
The Collected Poems 1934-1953 includes the five previously published volumes of Thomas's work: 18 Poems, Twenty five Poems, The Map of Love, Deaths and Entrances and In Country Sleep.
The greatest Welsh bard of the 20th century, who's genius was largely set down in his teenage years, is herein contained. So dear reader, hold hard these ancient minutes, and treat yourself to Dylan's visions, framed in Celtic pentameter, when only the moon rages.

I purchased this book from a car boot oddly enough and was surprised to see it there!.It is a book of true inspiration and has kept me entertained for hours on end. The man is an undoubted star and it is easy to see why he influenced such Legends as John Lennon and Bob Dylan(hes even changed his name from zimmerman!). A truly great read and well worth the price.
