    Then all the matter of the living air

    Raised up a voice, and, climbing on the words,

    I spelt my vision with a hand and hair . . .

    Lyrical, mercurial and perhaps more influential than any other poet of his era, Dylan Thomas is one of the twentieth century's most iconic literary figures. This authoritative collection brings together Thomas's best-loved poems, short stories, broadcasts and plays (including Under Milk Wood) to reveal the idiosyncratic genius of this tempestuous, meticulous, virtuosic artist.

    Perfect for existing Thomas aficionados and students new to his work alike, this definitive edition includes notes, selected criticism and a chronology of the poet's life and times.

    Dylan Thomas

    Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea in 1914, is perhaps Wales' best-known writer, and celebrations throughout 2014 will mark the centenary of his birth. He is widely considered to be one of the major poets of the 20th century, and many of his greatest poems, such as 'Fern Hill' and 'Do not go gentle into that good night' remain among the nation's favourites. As well as poetry, Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories and scripts for film and radio - none more popular than his radio play UNDER MILK WOOD, which is considered by many to be his masterpiece. He led a fascinating and tempestuous life, permeated by love affairs and reckless bouts of drinking, which led him to claim that he had beast, angel and madman within him. There have been several film adaptations of his fascinating life, which ended all too soon in 1953 when he collapsed and died in New York shortly after his 39th birthday. A memorial stone commemorating his life and work was unveiled in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey in 1982.
