Discover the witty memoirs, stirring prose, and insightful essays of one of the greatest Welsh writers in literary history, Dylan Thomas.

Known for his distinctive poetic style and masterful lyricism in pieces such as 'Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night', Dylan Thomas was also a talented broadcaster and prose writer. This collection brings together his essays, short stories, and a selection of his autobiographical pieces to shine a light on the lesser-known side of the prolific Welsh poet. Over 25 of Thomas' best works are featured in this volume, including 'The Map of Love' and 'How to be a Poet'.

Proudly republished by Ragged Hand, this unique collection of essays and short stories by Dylan Thomas showcases works often overshadowed by his prolific poetic output.

Industry Reviews

'Dylan Thomas is a young English poet whose work produced excited cries from young American poets..' -The Nation, September 18, 1943

'Thomas has the bardic consciousness: he writes a personal lyric in which the sense of his own history and name is surrounded by strange lights and glooms, and if his poems are often obscure, it is that they obey nocturnal laws. His poetry exists in a world in which the sexual forces of nature, the shifting tides and currents for which the individual cannot fully account but to which the passion of his being is finally responsible, override the merely personal clamor.' -The Nation, May 2, 1953

'It need no longer be eccentric to claim that Thomas is the greatest living poet in the English language.'-Philip Toynbee (The Nation, May 2, 1953)
