Dylan Thomas. Born 10/27/1914. Died 11/9/1953. This notable Welsh poet worked as a journalist and book reviewer before establishing him talent and contributions in the world of poetry. In 1934, he published “18 poems” and then gave us more published poems in 1936, and 1939. In 1940 he added autobiographical sketches to his oeuvre and then returned with more poems in 1942, 1946, 1952, and 1953, when he also gave us his only play, “Under Milkwood.”

“Do not go gentle into that good night, but rage, rage against the dying of the light.”
