Library Exhibition “Dylan Thomas at 100”
The University of Delaware Library [www.udel.edu/library] announces the exhibition “Dylan Thomas at 100” which will be on view in the Morris Library Information Room from Wednesday, October 1, 2014 through Friday, December 19, 2014.
October 2014 marks the centenary of the birth of Welshpoet Dylan Thomas (1914-1953), one of the twentieth century’s most celebrated young poets. His poignant poems about death, lost innocence, and memory such as “Do Not Go Gentle into that Good Night” (1951) engaged a huge variety of readers and listeners alike—from Beatle John Lennon, who placed Dylan Thomas’s portrait on the iconic cover of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, to modernist poet T.S. Elliot.
This Dylan Thomas exhibition was curated by Maureen Cech, senior assistant librarian, Manuscripts and Archives Department. It features imprints from Special Collections and material from the John Malcolm Brinnin papers. An online version of “Dylan Thomas at 100” will be available at [www.lib.udel.edu/ud/spec/exhibits.html].
