An international day to celebrate the life
and work of Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, held each year on 14th May, the
anniversary of the date when Under Milk Wood was first read on stage at 92Y The Poetry Center, New York in 1953.
“International
Dylan Thomas Day gives us a chance each year to celebrate Dylan
Thomas’s achievements. There is still the enthusiasm for a national day
to mark my grandfather’s life and legacy and we want to keep May 14th as
a prominent date on the literary calendar. Dylan Thomas’s writing has travelled through time – it is as relevant
today in our troubled times as when it was written sixty-five years
ago. It continues to travel across the globe reaching new audiences
everyday. His poetry lives on.
We invite you to tell us about how you are going to mark the day and
encourage you, wholeheartedly, to get involved and to love the words."
