This edition reproduces the \u003cem\u003eCollected Poems\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003e1934-1952\u003c\/em\u003e which the poet authorised just before his tragically early death at the age of 39 and which contains, as he said, 'most of the poems I have written, and all, up to the present year, I wish to preserve'. His was a precocious talent: his first poem was published nationally at the age of 18, and his first collection, \u003cem\u003e18 Poems\u003c\/em\u003e, was published when he was just 20. In spite of his early death, he therefore left behind a substantial and significant body of work, represented here. His poems cover the span of birth to death, while at their heart is a lyrical, joyful impulse that celebrates life. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Introduction and Notes set Thomas's poetry in their cultural (including their Welsh) context and poetic tradition, and offer ways in to a poetry which is highly crafted, and rich in language and emotion. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 224\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.9 x 7.7 x 5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 01, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42736155754559,"sku":"9781840228465","price":12.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0105\/8226\/1823\/files\/b00ae5d82416eef5502c9b7c420b41ea.webp?v=1765145848","url":"https:\/\/dhlswag.com\/products\/collected-poems-1934-1952-paperback","provider":"BBB","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
