Book Description

A richly powerful collection of poetry traversing the inevitability of death as Dylan Thomas explores the complicated themes of grief and loss.

This anthology collates the most renowned poems of Dylan Thomas, delving into his lyrical examinations of death, loss, and grief. The Welsh poet is remembered in large part for his candid exploration of dark and taboo topics. Many of the hauntingly beautiful works collected here highlight humanity’s cyclical connection to nature and gently encourage readers to value the beauty in life and accept and confront death. The poems featured in this volume include ‘And Death Shall Have No Dominion’, ‘Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines’, and ‘Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night’.

Ragged Hand proudly introduces this new, pocket-sized collection in a moving exploration of some of Dylan Thomas’ most evocative poetry.

Editorial 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)
