With restless creativity, he made the English language anew and his work inspired countless artists from Igor Stravinsky to Bob Dylan.In this new selection, Cerys Matthews brings together poems from across Thomas's career - including some of his very earliest works - to showcase the blossoming of his singular poetic voice. Full of lush imagery and unforgettable lines, this is the perfect introduction to a remarkable writer.
