Dylan Thomas was a Welsh poet and writer born on October 27, 1914, in Swansea, Wales. Best known for his lyrical and emotive poetry, Thomas's works are characterized by their rich language, unique rhythm, and vivid imagery. He started writing poetry at a young age, with his first book, "18 Poems," published in 1934. His most celebrated works include "Do Not Go Gentle into That Good Night" and "And Death Shall Have No Dominion."
Thomas's talent extended beyond poetry; he also wrote short stories, radio broadcasts, and scripts. One of his renowned works, "Under Milk Wood," is a radio drama portraying life in a small Welsh town. Although he achieved fame and acclaim during his lifetime, Thomas struggled with financial instability and alcoholism.
Despite his personal challenges, Dylan Thomas left a lasting legacy in the literary world. His work explored themes of life, death, and the human condition with a distinctive voice that continues to captivate readers. Tragically, his life was cut short when he died on November 9, 1953, at the age of 39, while on a lecture tour in New York City. Today, Dylan Thomas is remembered as one of the 20th century's most influential poets.
