Synopsis

Opening with Thomas's life, the book offers vignettes of Swansea in the 1920s and 1930s, pre- and postwar Laugharne and rural West Wales, wartime London and New York City in the early 1950s, seen through the poet's eyes. Thomas's political views are focused on, as well as his social and cultural attitudes - all evidenced in his letters, comments, criticism, sketches and stories, as the singer of the self looked at the world around him. John Ackerman is the author of "Dylan Thomas: His Life and Work", "Welsh Dylan", and editor of "Dylan Thomas: The Film Scripts" and "The Image and the Dark".
