เกี่ยวกับผู้แต่ง
Dylan Thomas (1914 – 1953), the Welsh poet and writer, is renowned for his unique literary voice and vivid imagery, which have enthralled readers and listeners alike. Thomas’s work often dwells on the themes of mortality and the beauty of life, a juxtaposition that has left a lasting impact on the literary world. His syntax and use of language are distinctively rhythmic, often likened to the cadences of Welsh poetry. He was versatile with forms, ranging from poetry, short stories, to radio scripts. Thomas gained critical acclaim with his book ‘Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog’ (1940), a collection of autobiographical stories that convey his lyrical use of language and affectionate mockery towards his younger self. This particular work presents a series of snapshots from his youth, where the nuances of his later literary style can be seen taking shape. Dylan Thomas’ seminal piece, ‘Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night’, exemplifies his linguistic prowess, with riveting repetition and a haunting appeal against the dying of the light. Although his life was marked by personal struggles and a tragic early death, Dylan Thomas’ body of work continues to inspire and influence writers and artists, securing his place among the pantheon of literary greats.
