Under Milk Wood (BBC Radio Collection)

by: Dylan Thomas

October 01, 1999
This is the best of Thomas. His affinity with the Welsh, his love of language, particularly their language, his melancholy and his air of delightfully mischievous humour just permeate this work through and through.
This was originally written to be heard, as a play for voices, i.e. radio. Reading it, however wonderful, and it is, is never going to replace the joy of listening to it, or seeing it in production. The play brings out the musical quality and the joyous rhythm of the words, and ... Read More:

Under Milk Wood: A Play for Voices

by: Dylan Thomas

May 04, 2000

'To begin at the beginning'...

I was arranging a visit to Mousehole, Cornwall and whilst researching my visit (incredibly sad, yes - well informed, yes) I stumbled across Thomas' connections with this pretty village. A friend of his, Wyn Henderson, owned the now demolished 'Lobster Pot' harbourside. Thomas delighted in the village and proclaimed that he too, wanted to live somewhere like that. Llareggub, the fictional village Thomas describes is based on another harbourside village in Wales, ... Read More:

Dylan Thomas at the "BBC" (Radio Collection)

by: Dylan Thomas

October 06, 2003
Dylan Thomas reads his own poems and also some short stories. The readings are theatrical performances, and there was a genuine audience for them at the time. Poets reading their own work appear rarely on disk or tape. Recording was invneted at the end of the nineteenth century, so most of the great poets are, of course, excluded. There is a wax cylinder of a muffled Browning slightly misquoting How They Brought The Goods News from Ghent to Aix, but this is a curiosity.Most of the leading poets of the first half of the 20th ...

Collected Poems: Dylan Thomas (Everyman)

by: Dylan Thomas

August 03, 2000
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.
