A process in the weather of the heartA process in the weather of the heartTurns damp to dry the golden shotStorms in the freezing tomb.A weather in the quarter of the veinsTurns night to day blood in their sunsLights up the living worm.A process in the eye forwarnsThe bones of blindness and the wombDrives in a death as life leaks out.A darkness in the weather of the eyeIs half its light the fathomed seaBreaks on unangled land.The seed that makes a forest of the loinForks half its fruit and half [...]
I work in an office where we get a zillion phone calls from all over the world The people who call us are doctors or clinicians who have a problem with one of the many clinical trials we manage About half of the time the callers have broken English, and in a few cases they have no English so we get a translator by calling a translation service and conferencing them into the call This one particular evening a female co worker we ll call her Sarah because it was Sarah got this call from a guy who [...]
This review is about me much than about the poetry of Dylan Thomas You can skip to the second last paragraph to read an excerpt from a Thomas poem if you like Reading this collection transported me to another time and place in my life It was a time and place when I sought depth in my life A time and place when I was much younger, much poorer, seeking love and sex and meaning In December 1967, I travelled from the small community in which I lived to the city to see my first rock concert, Jeffers [...]
Dylan Thomas was first recognized after the publication in 1934 of Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines Light breaks where no sun shine Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart Push in their tides And, broken ghosts with glow worms in their heads The things of light File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bone Critics wrote that his work is too narrow and suffers from verbal extravagance Robert Lowell wrote he is a dazzling obscure writer who can be enjoyed without understanding Generally [...]
Cannabis was so prevalent by the end of high school and beginning of college, my need to belong so great, that I was a regular user on weekends Eventually, however, having explored the action of the drug to the extent of taking enough hashish as to be unable to move, absorbed in drifting over brilliant kaleidoscopically checkered fields, I recognized that I wasn t learning anything new Marihuana made me silly, made me hungry, made me sleepy, left me with a hangover the next day, a mild stupor No [...]
Just a master of sheer language.His poetry works on your inner consciousness, you feel it and hear it before you think it Untangling his syntax and his associations makes for some interesting reading all its own.His name meant wave , as in the ocean, in Welsh.He said his three biggest influences were Yeats I think , The Bible, and Freud.Imagine this simmering stew, this cauldron if you will, and you ve got yourself something rich, evocative, stormy, and powerful.It s the goshdarn lifeforce incar [...]
Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,Do not g [...]
YES.
Taking Time to Experience the KnownGrowing up in the Pacific Northwest, I feel as if I know Mt Si An iconic rock formation in the Cascade foothills, it is an easily identified landmark signifying entrance into the mountains through Interstate 90 It s an integral part of the region, something you would assuredly mention to an out of towner if you happened to drive past it.But recognition is a different phenomenon than true experience I still haven t endeavored to hike the full mountain, but my un [...]
How do you criticize a volume of poetry such as this These are not ideas, these are words, formed together, which create ideas reflexively The language is psychedelic, romantic, beautiful, paradoxical, mesmerizing I love the opening stanzas of Fern Hill Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughsAbout the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,The night above the dingle starry,Time let me hail and climbGolden in the heydays of his eyes,And honored among wagons I was prince of the [...]
Where I began writing, during a fine undergrad English major Days of daisies, swaying lazily, Light and easy, breeze blown days and Love burst firth, froth on the sluicing sea Foams on the rolling, beating surf The first I submitted to enter a poetry writing class, and I was admitted by Archibald MacLeish Later, in grad school at Minnesota, I set Dylan Thomas s Death Shall Have No Dominion to music,SATB, organ, fleugel horn, cello and trombone It s on google , linked to Blues for AJ Take One on [...]

This slim volume has a special place on my shelf Every so often I take it out and treat myself and I do mean treat myself to Dylan Thomas s gift to the world his poetry Quite simply, I think he is the greatest poet to have ever written in the English language No poet I have read comes close to what Thomas achieves here in this small volume If someone can share with me some poet who does, please send me the information And why does Thomas write From Dylan Thomas s introduction to this volume I re [...]
I don t pretend to understand a lot of his work, but I love it Anyone who can write things like they shall have stars at elbow and foot joy has moved within the inmost marrow of my heart bone at last the soul from its foul mousehole slunk pouting out Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart push in their tides or The voices of all the drowned swam on the wind not to mention his wonderful trick of turning nouns into verbs, and his Beowulf like kennings no one can write like that and not win my [...]
Dylan Thomas is the shit, basically.
This is my holy bible.I feel out of place without it.Favorite passages soon to follow.
I m just absolutely gutted Extraordinary stuff in here And you, my father, there on the sad height,Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.Do not go gentle into that good night.Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Dylan Thomas is the unhappiest poet I ve ever read I ve read poems about rape and incest that didn t make me feel this horrible Do Not Go Gentle is usually the way young people find Thomas, or at least people of my generation who walked around quoting the hot guy from the Michelle Pfeiffer flick, Dangerous Minds You ve got to RAGE against the DYING of the LIGHT That dude dies because he doesn t knock on a door Michelle Pfeiffer becomes the apple of the unruly students collective eye Coolio goes [...]
My favorite is Poem in October but I love to read and reread them all I guess it is the music that is alive in Thomas poetry that makes it come alive for me Here is an example Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughsAbout the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,The night above the dingle starry,Time let me hail and climbGolden in the heydays of his eyes,And honored among wagons I was prince of the apple towns,And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leavesTrail with [...]
I don t do poetry However, this collection is what I would wish to take to my desert island Richard Burton took this book to his grave I prefer the desert island idea Do not go gentle into that good night must be one of my favourite poems But there are so many here Monumental stuff The bard of the 20th century I went on pilgrimage to Laugharne to visit his house.The collection I keep like a bible I can take this down from the shelf and just open it at any page It s remarkable that most of the ma [...]
What can I say Still my all time favorite Maddeningly dense and self absorbed in places, but always a master of language and sound The closer you look, the you see just how carefully constructed the poems are, and how he pulls off complicated structures with disarming ease Just hearing the poems out loud is a transcendent experience, and many of the best are available online in his voice.
This collection has the great poems Fern Hill and Light Breaks Where No Sun Shines This collection also holds one of my personal favorite poems of all times, the simple yet majestic I Have Longed To Move Away This book is a great introduction to Thomas s work.
Fern Hill is one of the most beautiful poems in twentieth century literature And everything else in Thomas compressed, darkly exuberant oeuvre is pretty amazing too.
visceral.
Other than a few poems I just couldn t connect with it
Times when poetry was refined It s sad that it has all been reduced down to collections like Milk and Honey or the princess saves herself in this one.
