Autor: Thomas, Dylan Taken from four notebooks, these are the sole survivors of what in 1933 the poet referred to as "innumerable exercise books full of poems" written between the ages of fifteen and nineteen. His early poetry reveals that Dylan Thomas was a remarkable young man, a genius who had matured by seventeen into the person he has destined to be.

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.
