Collected Poems, 1934-1953
Collected Poems, 1934-1953 | Dylan Thomas
7 posts | 10 read | 9 to read
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.

Mehso-so

Was super excited to read this for #poemsbeforephones. I got it from the Salvos at Toronto for the bargain price of 50 cents (I think a poetry lover may have died because there was a lot of old volumes of poetry in a crate by themselves) & right about now I‘m glad I only paid that much. I will persevere hoping I connect with it soon. At the moment it just feels like he is pulling my leg. There are some outstanding lines every now and again though.

monalyisha Whoops! Glad you‘re doing the poetry thing, though! 5y

#PoetryMatters I‘m interpreting #crossing here as the process of dying ( of #crossing over ) that begins in old age ....
... and Dylan Thomas urging us to “burn & rave at close of day;
Rage , rage against the dying of the light. “

Lcsmcat @vivastory Yes! My sister gave me the complete set on CD one Christmas. We listen to A Child‘s Christmas in Wales almost every year. 7y
vivastory He's a total rock star reading his work. I love the complete set. I never get tired of it. @Lcsmcat 7y
merelybookish @Lcsmcat @vivastory I think I've heard him read some of A Child's Christmas but will definitely check out more now! 7y
vivastory It's very dramatic, even bombastic at times. But it's phenomenal 7y

“Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light”
