The definitive edition of Dylan Thomass 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.
