A Poet's Work

In this episode, we go back in time to see the poetry through the eyes of Dylan Thomas. We discuss a little bit about his work including "Do not go gentle into that good night", "O Make Me a Mask", "Twenty-Four Years" & "Clown In The Moon" and the context behind it.

Dylan Thomas was born on October 27, 1914, in South Wales, was the archetypal Romantic poet of the popular American imagination. Dylan's works include the poems "Do not go gentle into that good night" and "And death shall have no dominion"; the "play for voices" Under Milk Wood; and stories and radio broadcasts such as A Child's Christmas in Wales and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog.

I am a poet more than human

I live in harmony and peace

I murmurs the words of wisdom

I will listen to you and at the

same time, I may not listen

I will see you but at the same

time, I will be in my dreams.

I care about the lives of unspoken

and I don't compete

Somedays I write when I feel

and somedays, feeling writes me...
