The Poems

London, Melbourne, Toronto: J.M. Dent and Sons, 1978 This volume contains nearly two hundred poems by the Welsh poet whose untimely death in 1953 robbed the world of a unique literary talent. It contains all the verse of the Collected Poems 1934-1952, plus over one hundred other poems previously either quite inaccessible or not easily accessible. It is therefore the most representative collection of the poet's work available in one volume. A poet does not live in a vacuum, and the various influences on Thomas's life emerge clearly from the chronological presentation of his work which is a feature of this edition, and reveal something of the relationship between poems written about the same time and the development of the poet's technique and imagery. The 1978 printing of The Poems, which marks the twenty fifth anniversary of Dylan Thomas's death, includes an example of Thomas's 'pub poetry' recently discovered by Wynford Vaughan Thomas, and never before published in any anthology. -------------------------------------------------------------- 291 pages, sellotape marks on inner covers ---------- Orders of $100.00 or more are shipped using tracked courier delivery services.
