This Penguin Classics selection gathers the essential work of Dylan Thomas, one of the twentieth century's most distinctive poets.

His poems are dense with sound, biblical rhythm and startling imagery, moving between childhood, mortality, nature, desire and the cycles of creation and decay. While "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" often overshadows the rest of his work, this collection reveals the remarkable range of his poetry.

Edited with an introduction by Walford Davies, it's an excellent entry point for new readers while offering a carefully chosen survey for those returning to Thomas. A rewarding collection for readers of modern poetry, particularly those drawn to language that is as musical as it is emotionally charged.

Penguin Classics paperback, 2000 edition with introduction and editorial material by Walford Davies. Very good condition with light shelf wear.
