Selected Poems 1934-1952, New Revised Edition

Dylan Thomas

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2003

Dylan's greatness as a poet A power of feeling and music all his own
The greatness of Dylan Thomas is in his music and voice, a powerful rolling seasound. It is too in that whole mysteriously rich vocabulary, that unique diction of his own a diction which like that of Hopkins , and Dickinson seems to strike us as wholly original. The greatness of Thomas is too in his human feeling. "Do not go gentle into that dark night, Rage Rage Against the Dying of the ...

Bob Dylan: The 6 Chord Songbook, Easy Guitar Edition (Bob Dylan)

2 reviews
Bob Dylan

Wise Publications, 1991

Great Book for Beginners
Advanced players stay away, but this is as good a beginning guitar book to learn to play and strum that there is. The chords are simple, so spending time with this book will really teach you to comfortably play G and C chord songs. Many of the songs are "dumbed down" or have had the key moved. Purists will be unhappy, as the songs lose a lot of that Bob Dylan funk, but, nonetheless, virtually ...

Simon & Schuster, 2005

He told me one time: "I'm a poet, not a singer."
I became a Dylan fan in the early 60's. While In Junior College and working for the student newspaper, I was assigned the task of interviewing him - without an appointment - when he came to perform in the town where that JC was. I grabbed a tape recorder, sat with some friends to create a short list of questions we thought would be fun for him to respond to - and on the assigned evening, I set ...

Simon & Schuster, 2005

Not a Tell-All But Definitely a Work of Art
If you're not very familiar with Bob Dylan and want to learn more about the man this is really not the book for you. I suggest you read Clinton Heylin's tome, "Behind The Shades, Take 2" which compiles just about every known fact about Dylan from the people who have known him - an excellent book in every way. Chronicles is a different animal. I think you are more likely to appreciate it if you ...

Prestel USA, 2008

A Must Have and See for Any Dylan Fan
I was lucky enough to be in Germany during this exhibit and see it live. I also purchased the book there and have reviewed it several times. It includes the 170 works displayed at the Kunstsammlungen Chemnitz from October 2007 to March 2008 and three thoughtful essays that examine the works from several perspectives. Ninety-two of the works were based on drawings published in 1994 as Drawn ...

The Poems of Dylan Thomas, New Revised Edition [with CD]

New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2003

The Definitive Anthology Of His Poetry
If you truly are a lover of great poetry than this book should be very satisfying. Over the years there have been several volumes that have tried to attempt to collect some of the best poems by Dylan Thomas but none has come close to how complete and accurate this book is. THE POEMS OF DYLAN THOMAS, collects practically every poem that he ever wrote during his lifetime. All of his greatest and ...

The Definitive Bob Dylan Songbook (Bob Dylan) (Bob Dylan)

16 reviews

Amsco Publications, 2001

Good Value
My son has recently become a Dylan fan and I bought him this book so that he can learn some of his favourite songs (guitar and lyrics). Not bad for a plain Jane book that contains tons of songs. He thinks in a few of the songs, some of the chord progressions are not right, but I think it may just be a Bob Dylan thing. I was worried that with a book this size, I would have to take it apart and ...

Don't Think Twice, It's All Right -- Bob Dylan, the Early Years: The Stories Behind Every Song

3 reviews
Gill

Da Capo Press, 1998

Invaluable reference
Bob Dylan is one of the few musical figures from the 20th century that we have truly seen become a legend in their own time. Some would argue, indeed, that Dylan is THE quissential cultural figure of the second half of the 20th century - recording undoubtedly some of the greatest albums ever put to tape, becoming, in the eyes of many, a composer for our times on par with Mozart and Beethoven, ...

Caedmon, 2004

Dylan Thomas Collection
Excellent cd series. Thomas' pipe-organ voice resonates on every track. His wit and humor pushes the envelope for its time. Bobby socksers,the hang-over of those early Cold War years,post war America full of booms and busts and Levit-towns. Picture too a staid America, the 1950s campus life just before "the Cool" hit, before the Folk revival scene, pre Beats. Now enter the mop-headed Welsh ...

X-Posed

Bruno Gmunder Verlag Gmbh, 2008

Dylan Rosser focuses on the purity and sensuality of the male form, often showing not much more than a smooth, sexy male body using light and shadow to accentuate the athletic curves and shapes of the models. The key idea of "x-posed" is to keep it all nude, because as soon as items of clothing are added, one inevitably ends up with an image dated in time. But Rosser's aim is the timeless and classic.

Odd, but highly enjoyable
if you only skim the lines in Bob Dylan's prose, it appears to be random words and phrases...however, there's a lot of meaning to be found between the lines...that being said, i've never actually listened to his music or sat and read his lyrics, but i love poetry that's full of metaphor and requires thought because why write poetry if you mean exactly what you say? the prose in this work offers ...

His most definitive work

Clinton Heylin

Harper Paperbacks, 2003

A MUST HAVE
I got this book a while ago. This book is a terrific outline of Bob's life and there is LOTS of reading. The author is an "expert" and this book is just great. No one fully knows Bob as no one fully knows anyone, but this is a must buy book if you want to learn more. Some great pictures of Bob--ESPECIALLY one in which he appears to be in his early 40's which reveals the intelligence and ...

Dylan's Visions of Sin

Christopher Ricks

Harper Perennial, 2005

Essential for fans of Dylan as poet
****1/2* This book forms a kind of other bookend for Greil Marcus's matchless "Invisible Republic". That deeply perceptive study placed Dylan's work in the myth and paradox laden context of American folk and country and blues, especially its most obscure corners. This one looks at its literary context, noting echoes of Blake and Keats and the rest. And most of those echoes are really there. ...
