Postcard 3 - Dylan Thomas copy

This is the final postcard i produced. As a regular visitor to Swansea, I wanted to produce an image with the Bard Dylan Thomas in mind, who was born in Swansea on October 27th, 1914.

Postcard 3 - Dylan Thomas
Originally uploaded by roblonolean.

Dylan Thomas is widely considered one of the greatest twentieth-century poets writing in English and he remains the leading figure in Anglo-Welsh literature. His vivid and often fantastic imagery was a rejection of the trends in twentieth-century verse: while his contemporaries gradually altered their writing to serious topical verse (political and social concerns were often expressed), Thomas gave himself over to his passionately felt emotions, and his writing is often both intensely personal and fiercely lyrical.

He is particularly remembered for the remarkable voice-play Under Milk Wood and for his poem Do not go gentle into that good night which is generally interpreted as a plea to his dying father to hold onto life.
