Audio Books by Dylan Thomas. Dylan Marlais Thomas (27 October 1914 - 9 November 1953) was a Welsh poet. He is regarded by many as one of the 20th century's most influential poets.
In addition to poetry, Thomas also wrote short stories and scripts for film and radio, with the latter frequently performed by Thomas himself. His public readings, particularly in America, won him great acclaim; his booming, at times ostentatious, voice with a subtle Welsh lilt, became almost as famous as his works. His best known works include "Under Milk Wood" and "Do not go gentle into that good night", a poem written in 1951 about his dying father.
