| Abstract | ||
| Dylan Thomas is a Welsh poet born in 1914 who wrote one of the most romantic, eloquent and sensual poems in modern literature. Since the publication of his first book, The Eighteen Poems, in 1934, critics have known him as a distinguished and original poet, Amaze and enchant readers with his verbal and musical strength and the ability to explore the deepest emotions. These intense feelings between emotion and sensitivity revealed the obsessive thoughts of love, death, religion and the sound of words on Thomas. Thomas' love of life is evident with a high-spirited and fun-filled sense of humor in his fictional and theatrical prose writings as well as his poems. Thomas was born in Swansea, Wales and gained immense popularity through radio readings of his work in Britain and the United States. Many of these readings are available in the form of recordings and tapes. Thomas died in 1953 from pneumonia that exacerbated because of his addiction to alcohol during his tour to the United States. And that time which the poet lived from his childhood to the period before his death affected his poetry, so the reader sees in Dylan’s writings many meanings about the concept of time, as in the poem Fern Hill. | ||
