31.01.2010 - Interpretation of dali48
The Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (1914-1953) is the world-famous best-known poet. He was and is a role model for many musicians like John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Bob Dylan and other songwriters. - His excessive life and work in South Wales, London and New York, describes the filmmaker Tom Krausz in his documentation. - Elke Heidenreich tells the story of the little man with the big words, who only too often lost the ground under his feet! ... (ARTE / Biography, 31.01.2010)
Interpretation of dali48
Dylan Marlais Thomas (1914 – 1953) was a Welsh poet and writer who wrote exclusively in English. In addition to poetry, he wrote short stories and scripts for film and radio, which he often performed himself ...
His childhood was spent largely in Swansea, with regular summer trips to visit his maternal aunts' Carmarthenshire farms. - These rural sojourns and the contrast with the town life of Swansea provided inspiration for much of his work, notably many short stories, radio essays, and the poem Fern Hill. Thomas was known to be a sickly child who suffered from bronchitis and asthma! - He shied away from school and preferred reading on his own! - He was considered too frail to fight in World War II, instead serving the war effort by writing scripts for the government. - Thomas's formal education began at Mrs. Hole's Dame school, a private school which was situated a few streets away on Mirador Crescent ...
In October 1925, Thomas attended the single-sex Swansea Grammar School, in the Mount Pleasant district of the city, where his father taught. - He was an undistinguished student! - Thomas's first poem was published in the school's magazine. He later became its editor. -He began keeping poetry notebooks and amassed 200 poems in four such journals between 1930 and 1934. He left school at 16 to become a reporter for the local newspaper, the South Wales Daily Post, only to leave the job under pressure 18 months later in 1932. After leaving the job he filled his notebooks even faster. Of the 90 poems he published, half were written during these first years. He then joined an amateur dramatic group in Mumbles called Little Theatre (Now Known as Swansea Little Theatre), but still continued to work as a freelance journalist for a few more years ...
In February 1941, Swansea was bombed by the German Luftwaffe in a "three nights' blitz." - Castle Street was just one of the many streets in Swansea that suffered badly; the rows of shops, including the 'Kardomah Café', were destroyed! - Thomas later wrote about this in his radio play Return Journey Home, in which he describes the café as being "razed to the snow"! ...
On 11 July 1937, Thomas married Caitlin Macnamara in a register office in Penzance, Cornwall. - In 1938, the couple rented a cottage in the village of Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, West Wales. - Their first child, Llewelyn Edouard, was born on 30 January 1939 (d. 2000). - Their daughter, Aeronwy Thomas-Ellis, was born on 3 March 1943 (d. 2009). - A second son, Colm Garan Hart, was born on 24 July 1949.
The publication of Deaths and Entrances in 1946 was a major turning point for Thomas. Poet and critic W. J. Turner commented in The Spectator "This book alone, in my opinion, ranks him as a major poet"! - Thomas was well known for being a versatile and dynamic speaker, best known for his poetry readings. He made over 200 broadcasts for the BBC! ...
John Malcolm Brinnin invited Thomas to New York and in 1950 embarked on a lucrative three month tour of arts centers and campuses in the States. - He toured there again in 1952, this time with Caitlin, who discovered that he had been unfaithful on his 1950 trip. - They both drank heavily, as if in competition, Thomas's health beginning to suffer with gout and lung problems! ...
He died in New York on 5 November 1953 before the BBC could record the play! ...
Richard Burton starred in the first broadcast in 1954 and was joined by Elizabeth Taylor in a subsequent film ...
Thomas's last collection Collected Poems, 1934–1952, published when he was 38, won the Foyle poetry prize. He wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night", a villanelle, to his dying father, who passed away in 1952, one of the poet's last poems! ...
A turning point came on 2 November. Air pollution in New York had risen significantly and exacerbated chest illnesses, such as Thomas had! - By the end of the month, over two hundred New Yorkers had died from the smog (see dali48 and e.g. @CGShanghaiAir Shanghai - 2023-03-06 4PM - PM2.5 - 103 AQI - Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups etc.)! - see dali48 and trees & photo synthesis and fresh air and health and cooling and biodiversity etc.)! ...
Caitlin in Laugharne was sent a telegram on 5 November, notifying her that Dylan was in hospital! - She flew to America the following day and was taken, with a police escort, to the hospital. Her alleged first words were "Is the bloody man dead yet?" - The pneumonia worsened and Thomas died, whilst in coma, at noon on 9 November! ...
Following his death, his body was brought back to Wales for his burial in the village churchyard at Laugharne on 25 November! ...
"But ours was a drink story, not a love story, just like millions of others. Our one and only true love was drink", she (Caitlin Thomas) writes. "The bar was our altar"! ...
Thomas derived his closely woven, sometimes self-contradictory images from the Bible, Welsh folklore and preaching, and Freud (see dali48 and reading Freud etc. - in Tübingen in the 70s etc. - d.48)! ...
A statue of Thomas is in the city's maritime quarter. The Dylan Thomas Theater Swansea Little Theater and the Dylan Thomas Center, formerly the town's Guildhall, are also found in Swansea! - The latter is now a literature center, where exhibitions and lectures are held, and is the setting for an annual Dylan Thomas Festival! ...
