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.
