Dylan Thomas es algo mas que un poeta: es toda una leyenda. Este relato nos lleva a un pueblo de la costa de Gales, lleno de gatos, carteros y niños ansiosos por jugar con la nieve, que cayo durante seis dias con sus noches cuando yo tenia doce años, o durante doce noches y doce dias cuando tenia seis, segun nos cuenta el autor al principio del libro.

In 1951, two years before his death, Dylan Thomas wrote of his plan to complete a radio play, 'an impression for voices, an entertainment out of the darkness, of the town I live in, and to write it simply and warmly and comically with lots of movement and varieties of moods, so that, at many levels...you come to know the town as an inhabitant of it'. The work was UNDER MILK WOOD - an orchestration of voices, sights and sounds that conjure up the dreams and waking hours of an imagined Welsh seaside village within the cycle of one day. Includes an introduction, notes, selected criticism and chronology of Thomas's life and times.

One of the great craftsmen of modern poetry in English, Dylan Thomas harnesses the very music of language. The amazing memorability of the poems - the unforgettable phrase, the singing line - comes partly from the Welshness of the craft. But it also comes from the range of the great natural forces that the poems deal with, and which determine all our lives.
