When I was around 18, I was very much under the spell of Dylan Thomas. I liked his prose work best, perhaps because of the tales of drunken fun. I still remember the line "he still loved her, but he didn't like anything she said or did." I am not a great reader of poetry.
In my early 20s I got some tapes of him reading poetry. I liked his rich powerful voice.
I think we studied "Under Milk Wood" at school, but that didn't put me off.
Still I am not sure I am so interested now everyone is getting ready for 100 years after
his birth.
