Selected Poems 1934-1952, New Revised Edition 3 reviews Dylan Thomas
New Directions Publishing Corporation, 2003
Dylan's greatness as a poet A power of feeling and music all his own
+ the Walt Whitman of Wales + Words Well Written
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 ...
