Herdenk de beroemde dichter uit Wales
Walesâ most famous poet, Dylan Thomas, is celebrated each year in the âugly lovely townâ of his birth, Swansea, in South Wales. From 27 October to 9 November his life, work and legacy will be explored and commemorated with numerous events.
Join literary heavyweights Andrew Motion, Gwyneth Lewis, Alexis Lykiard and Mike Jenkins who’ll be giving talks as well as Peter Hain who’ll be discussing his new book on Nelson Mandela. The festival takes place at the Dylan Thomas Centre, a permanent space with an exhibition on Dylan Thomas and his life, as well as a cosy café and bookshop stuffed with books, posters and memorabilia.
Thomas was born in Swansea on 27 October, 1914 at No 5, Cwmdonkin Drive in Swansea, and died on November 9, 1953 in St Vincent's Hospital, New York. During his lifetime he wrote many great poems, including 'Fern Hill', 'The hunchback in the park' and of course 'Do not go gentle into that good night'. You can hire Cwmdonkin Drive as self-catering accommodation.
