Wild Welsh boy who roared through his brief life?
Doomed poet who praised the fleeting beauty of youth and innocence?
Sensitive, misunderstood artist? Which of these images is nearest to the real
Dylan?
David Rowe starts from a great admiration of
the work of Dylan Thomas, and in this book offers readers a taste of the
great writer's own words: snippets from the poems, stories and the better
known play, Under Milk Wood, will leave you wanting to read more.
This is a book of striking and memorable
photographs - of the places, the people and the experiences of Wales which so
influenced Dylan. At the centre of the story is the man himself, aptly
described by his friend Vernon Watkins as 'the serious survivor of all his
myths'.
