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 life was spent largely in Swansea, with regular summer trips to visit his maternal aunts' Carmarthenshire farms... - 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... - 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 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... - 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... - John Malcolm Brinnin invited Thomas to New York and in 1950 embarked on a lucrative three month tour of arts centres 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 - Burton starred in the first broadcast in 1954 and was joined by Elizabeth Taylor in a subsequent film... - 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... - 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... - "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"...
