The Poems by Dylan Thomas

The Poems by Dylan Thomas

In the INFERNO, Dante embarks upon a journey through the gyres of hell in an exploration of the darkest elements of existence. Capturing the true spirit of the original, Robert Pinkst's new verse translation of the Inferno is all a poem, and shows the contemporary reader,as no other version in English has done, why Dante is universally considered a poet of great power, intensity and vision.

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea on 27 October 1914, the son of a senior English master. On leaving school he worked on the South Wales Evening Post before embarking on his literary career in London. Not only a poet, he wrote short stories, film scripts, features and radio plays, the most famous being Under Milk Wood. On 9 November 1953, shortly after his thirty-ninth birthday, he collapsed and died in New York city. He is buried in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, which had become his main home since 1949. In 1982 a memorial stone to commemorate him was unveiled in 'Poet's Corner' in Westminster Abbey.
