Abstract
Dylan Thomas (1914–1953) was a Welsh poet and screenwriter, whose poems are lyrical, with entertaining wordplay, vivid imagery, and captivating rhythms. He may be best known for his poem “Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night,” contained in The Poems of Dylan Thomas (New Directions Publishing, 1971). The poem’s imagery of the closing day and coming nightfall allude to the cyclical process of life and death.
