- catalog abstract ""Dylan Thomas's letters, which span a life from Welsh childhood to the last fatal days in New York, are as remarkable for their poetry, style and vision as they are for their deviousness, jokes and self-caricatures. The schoolboy editor becomes the passionate show-off; the young would-be lecher turns into the husband of Caitlin Macnamara; the adolescent whose notebooks were full of poems 'bursting with black and green rhythms, like a very young policeman exploding', is transmuted into the harassed freelance writer, rarely at peace with himself." "More than a hundred new letters have been added since Paul Ferris edited the first edition of the Collected Letters in 1985. Thomas's adolescence in Swansea and his love affair with Caitlin are seen in sharper focus. He has important things to say about poetry and unkind things to say about other poets - 'Spender should be kicked ... Day-Lewis hissed in public and have his balls beaten with a toffee hammer."--Jacket.".
