Synopsis
The definitive edition of Dylan Thomas's five published volumes of poems: 18 POEMS, TWENTY-FIVE POEMS, THE MAP OF LOVE, DEATHS AND ENTRANCES and IN COUNTRY SLEEP.
Dylan Thomas wrote passionately about life in all its moods and moments: from the first thrilling moments of childbirth to the darker moments of death and loss.
COLLECTED POEMS is introduced by the poet himself with a passionate seashore 'Prologue', in which the self-styled Noah of poetry builds his ark against ruin. This edition includes his last, unfinished poem 'Elegy', and the opening of 'In Country Heaven' - an ambitious project conceived after the dropping of the atom bomb.

About the Author
Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea on 27 October 1914, the son of a senior English master. On leaving school he worked on the South Wales Evening Post before embarking on his literary career in London. Not only a poet, he wrote short stories, film scripts, features and radio plays, the most famous being Under Milk Wood. On 9 November 1953, shortly after his thirty-ninth birthday, he collapsed and died in New York city. He is buried in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, which had become his main home since 1949. In 1982 a memorial stone to commemorate him was unveiled in 'Poet's Corner' in Westminster Abbey.

Soft cover. Condition: Good. Reprint. Paperback. Slight crease to front cover. Small closed tear to spine. New Introduction by Clive T. Probyn. 'The proper study of mankind is man'. Thus apt;ly did Alexander Pope sum up his own art, for man in society was both his subject and his audience. Yet, peculiarly disadvantaged from the start by his Roman Catholic background and by physical disability, although Pope write from within the social scene he was himself never fully part of it, and his fearless attacks on contemporary society arounsed a violent hostility which marked the whole of his areer. In his poety as in his life, Poe's values were defined in conflict and through transformations: for him poetry was made from the interaction of the past and present, the private and the public, and his career was influenced both by inherited modes of expression and by his own eighteenth-century present. Clive Probyn's new introduction discusses Pope's life and art, and considers the nature of his genius, both as a product of its own time and for succeeding generations, stressing the view that the poet has a central place in society, whether as celebrant or opponent. 408 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
