Dylan Thomas in Country Sleep (33 results)

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. The definitive edition of Dylan Thomas's five published volumes of poems: 18 POEMS, TWENTY-FIVE POEMS, THE MAP OF LOVE, DEATHS AND ENTRANCES and IN COUNTRY SLEEP. Dylan Thomas wrote passionately about life in all its moods and moments: from the first thrilling moments of childbirth to the darker moments of death and loss. COLLECTED POEMS is introduced by the poet himself with a passionate seashore 'Prologue', in which the self-styled Noah of poetry builds his ark against ruin. This edition includes his last, unfinished poem 'Elegy', and the opening of 'In Country Heaven' - an ambitious project conceived after the dropping of the atom bomb. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Published in 1952, In Country Sleep was the last volume of poetry released by Dylan Thomas in his lifetime (he died one year later) and contains six poems: "Over Sir John's Hill," "Poem on His Birthday," "Do not go gentle into that good night," "Lament," "In the White Giant's Thigh," and "In Country Sleep." "Do not go gentle into that good night" is arguably Thomas' most famous poem, a villanelle that urges the reader to not meekly succumb to death ("Rage, rage against the dying of the light").
