Dylan Thomas LA Books Examiner Frank Mundo Pause for Poetry
 

The acclaimed Welsh poet Dylan Thomas has been called one of the most important poets of the 20th century and the most spectacular of the surrealist poets. Despite his early death at only 39, Thomas left behind a remarkable collection of work -- including “Fern Hill” and, probably his most famous poem, “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night”.

With this in mind, let’s all hit the pause buttons on our lives for a few minutes and watch this haunting performance of “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” by Dylan Thomas.
