Produktinformationen zu „The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas: The Original Edition (ePub)“
The original and classic The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas is available once again, now with a brilliant new preface by Paul Muldoon.
The Collected Poems of Dylan Thomas contains poems that Thomas personally decided best represented his work. A year before its publication Thomas died from swelling of the brain triggered by excessive drinking. (A piece of New Directions history: it was our founder James Laughlin who identified Thomas' body at the morgue of St. Vincent's Hospital.)
Since its initial publication in 1953, this book has become the definitive edition of the poet's work. Thomas wrote Prologue addressed to my readers, the strangers an introduction in verse that was the last poem he would ever write. Also included are classics such as And Death Shall Have No Dominion, Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night, and Fern Hill that have influenced generations of artists from Bob Dylan (who changed his last name from Zimmerman in honor of the poet), to John Lennon (The Beatles included Thomas' portrait on the cover of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band); this collection even appears in the film adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road when it is retrieved from the rubble of a bookshelf.
And death shall have no dominion.
Dead men naked they shall be one
With the man in the wind and the west moon;
When their bones are picked clean and their clean bones gone,
They shall have stars at elbow and foot;
Though they go mad they shall be sane,
Though they sink through the sea they shall rise again,
Though lovers be lost love shall not:
And death shall have no dominion.
(From And Death Shall Have No Dominion)
Autoren-Porträt von Dylan Thomas
Dylan Thomas, born in Swansea in 1914, is perhaps Wales' best-known writer, widely considered to be one of the major poets of the 20th century: many of his greatest poems, such as Fern Hill and 'Do not go gentle into that good night' are beloved and widely studied. As well as poetry, Dylan Thomas wrote numerous short stories and scripts for film and radionone more popular than his radio play Under Milk Wood. He led a fascinating and tempestuous life, which ended all too soon in 1953 when he collapsed and died in New York City shortly after his 39th birthday.
