5.0 out of 5 stars Another side to the poet, December 12, 2004
By 
Jack Purcell (Placitas, NM USA) - See all my reviews
If you're reading this review you are probably already familiar with the poetry of Dylan Thomas, a lover of that poetry. You almost certainly wouldn't have found this book, otherwise.

The reason for reading the letters of Dylan Thomas have to lie behind the poetry, the desire to know the man. This book will give you a peek into his personal life, a respect for his approach to poetry, to people, to most of the sides of human interaction you can only guess at by reading the poetry.

I believe if you love the poetry of Dylan Thomas this book will make you happier for knowing a piece of that other side of him, the side known only to his most intimate friends.

I didn't buy this book. It was given to me by a friend who knew I love poetry and respected the poetry of Thomas. The book sat for a number of years on my bookshelf before I picked it up and began reading it when there seemed to be nothing else of interest. I read long into the night and finished it in a single burst.

I believe that's how you'll read it, too.
