Even lovers of Dylan Thomas's poems are often puzzled by his habits
of language, which sometimes take the form of unusual diction and
unique perceptions. This study, on the hundredth anniversary of his
birth, is a must-read for both Thomas's fans and newcomers
interested in an introduction to his works and the unique
sensibility that created them. Chapters are devoted to his poetic
perspectives, ranging from the microscopic to the cosmic; his
unusual perceptions of the world, which some critics have described
as those of an almost altered reality; his diction, or working
vocabulary; his penchant for refurbishing cliches; his hilarious
sense of humor and linguistic playfulness; his development as a
poet; and his concern for sound, often resulting in a lofty, at
times Biblical, though secular, tone. In summary, the study fully
explores the heart and mind behind the poems, and shows why his
work will always remain in the top rank of English poetry.
