Dylan Thomas Reading (Abridged) Audiobook

" One of the greatest poets. This book I bought from The Boathouse at Laugharne and the memories of that place give special setting to these works, some of which are certainly inspired by that bible black river mouth. "

" This is another poet like Kipling and Poe, though very, very different, who is best read aloud. Great Welsh voice. If you haven't, go discover Dylan Thomas. "

" come on, it's dylan thomas. "

" His prologue takes my breath away. "

" so this is the edition i read, but it was a later printing and was softcover. "

" I love the quality of his words, especially in O Make Me A Mask. "

" He didn't go gentle into that good night, but he went too soon. It always amazes me that such a troubled person could make brilliant sense of his life on paper. "

" Though his poetry can by cryptic I really love it. "

" There are a few favorites in this collection, such as "Do not go gentle into that good night," but so many of the works come across as dense and obtuse. "

" Magnificent. To be relished and read aloud... "

" All I can say is I went through a dark period in my poetry reading, and this was among my favorites then.... not too sure now "

" For revelations & insights into life as it should be lived, read this man's work! "

" This collection of CDs remains the best present I have ever received in my whole life. There is no voice like Thomas' voice, and no collection of words to match his. Extraordinary and way too short. "

" Somehow I lost this book but I don't feel too bad about it. His works sort of crossed wires in my brain. The captivated me but I don't know why. "

" Some of the greatest lyrical poems in the English language. "

" He was a master, without a doubt. Poems so evocative that they spring to mind every time I visit the coast (which is nearly daily). "

" And one light's language in the book of trees "

" He's brilliant, but some of this is quite somber. Not a good read if you want a pick me up. "

" I found this collection uneven. Some poems are beautiful, full of striking imagery and interesting rhythms and phrases but others seem to fall short of that. "
