The Craft And Art Of Dylan Thomas Author:William T. Moynihan "In spite of the number of books which have been published on the on the poetry of Thomas --let alone his life -- this is a critical discussion which has been much needed. Using material not available to all predecessors . . . Moynihan has succeeded in drawing together a coherent and meaningful explanation of the poetry. This is neither a work... more » of adulation nor an attack, but a very levelheaded comment which might well be the only book on Thomas in very small collections of moder poetry criticism of it." -- Choice
"Professor Moynihan's close study of Dylan's poetry makes much use of the letters, and it points the dichotomy between the poet and the man. It also demonstrates, valuably, how little we must rely on the poet when he is talking about his own poems . . . a thoughtful and helpful book." --Anthony Burgess, The Spectator.« less
