Dylan Thomas's letters bring the fascinating and tempestuous poet and his times to life in a way that no biography can.

The letters begin in the poet's schooldays and end just before his death in New York at the age of 39. In between, he loved, wrote, drank, begged and borrowed his way through a flamboyant life. He was an enthusiastic critic of other writers' work and the letters are full of his thoughts on the work of his contemporaries, from T.S. Eliot and W.H. Auden to Stephen Spender and Cecil Day-Lewis.

A lifetime of letters tell a remarkable story, each taking the reader a little further along the path of the poet's self-destruction, but written with such verve and lyricism that somehow the reader's sympathies never quite abandon him.

Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea, Wales, is one of the best-loved poets of the 20th century. He began work on Under Milk Wood, his 'play for voices' when he was just a teenager and finished it soon before his untimely death. This text and these characters are beloved across the world.
