This 1997 Folio Society edition of Dylan Thomas’ celebrated “play for voices,” Under Milk Wood, offers a beautifully crafted window into the Welsh poet’s dreamlike portrayal of a small seaside village. Thomas’ richly lyrical language and keen ear for the rhythms of everyday speech bring to life a vibrant array of characters, from blind Captain Cat to the Rev. Eli Jenkins, whose haunting voices seem to emerge from the very landscapes and homes of the fictional Llareggub (“bugger all” spelled backwards). First read on BBC radio in 1954, just months before Thomas’ untimely death, this enduring work captures the poet’s singular genius for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. This Folio edition, with its slightly marked slipcase and gently worn covers, invites readers and collectors alike to immerse themselves in Thomas’ poetic vision, savoring the music of his words on each lovingly preserved page.
