The Best of Dylan Thomas

Dylan Thomas

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.
