I'm Irish ...but since I was a child I have been read and read myself Fern Hill ......it even represented an Irish youth .....greatest poet ever .Seamus Heaney only in the halfpenny place .

Great presentation. Appreciate it. While finding poetry unintelligible. Dont know why.

Poignant to see all these people I knew as a boy. Thanks for the "trip".

An irresistible charm for the ladies… too funny.

Thank you Owen. Please make more documentaries.

Excellent documentary!!! Finally an intelligent and creative way of shining a light on Thomas’s vivid and now classic poetry as well as fascinating life through the lens of a fellow poets sensitive eyes. Thank You! 😊🙏🏼❤

his collected poems, in the way he arranged it, has a hidden, profound, and very traditional Christian theme: the progress of the soul.

Is it true,that dylan m Thomas is the next most quoted poet,after William Shakespeare.

thank you for this ...💌💌💌

brilliant documentary .... thank you for this 💌💌💌

Thank you. It's my favorite documentary about Dylan. I've watched it 3 times, so far. I too write poetry. It's always an adventure. Long live the adventure.

A thought. The young lady @ 07:26, we should all get her books of poetry; that certain kind of insight is not luck. Remember, DT is thicketed, there are cuts and poised threats, still this knowing opens like no other. Owen Sheers' presentation is more than insightful, revealing.

Brilliant work. Need to go and read his poetry over and over again.

This is fantastic and contributes to the layers of continuity from generation to generation thanks to your wonderful caring and narration

Most excellent,a living ,breathing portrayal of who Dylan Thomas was.

PS: you have beautiful curly hair like your grandfather!

Thank you Hannah for your grandfather's - Dylan Thomas lovely documentary!

She doesn’t pronounce Dylan correctly

I need to watch this again and again, thank you for your grandfather and this lovely young man that read the poem.❤😊

What a lovely sounding chap Owen is

He’s a welsh poet

Michael Sheen does a fine job of reading Dylan's poem, much better than most.

"Fern Hill" is such a remarkable poem. I read, I think in Paul Ferris' biography about your grandfather, that Dylan didn't think it was his best poem. Of course, a poet is not always the best judge of such things.

Quibble: just because Under Milk Wood was described as a play for voices doesn't mean it wasn't poetry. Shakespeare's plays were largely poetry too. In my opinion the first 5 minutes or so of Under Milk Wood are by far the best poetry Thomas wrote. Utterly magical.

thank you so mutch, greetings from Norway

Of all the documentaries I've seen on Dylan Thomas, this is, easily, the greatest. So many tend to focus on the ups and downs of his tumultuous, tabloidian life, but this one attempts to discover the poet through his own verse, something no other Thomas documentarian has done (successfully, anyway). Absolutely top-notch work here. 👏

Rage against the dying of the light.

A very good documentary about a great poet. I was fascinated by the idea that 'I sang in my chains like the sea' could also refer to the creativity occasioned by strict poetic form. I was also stirred by the idea that Do Not Go Gentle was addressed to himself. Looking at it now, it seems obvious. Simon Armitage: 'Poetry was his first language'. I think that's a very apt way of putting it and somehow gets to the heart of that mysterious linguistic netherworld which DT inhabited.

Masterful doc. Analytic, yet poetic in its own right, made all the more interesting by bards who appreciate Thomas's "craft or sullen art." They've tuned in, not just to the semantics of his arcane lines, but also their rolling sonority.

Super - thank you ☮️🇬🇧🤍🙏🏼

Thank you very much, Hannah! Although I have only now, in 2022, listened to and viewed this documentary, I believe it must be as fresh as when it was recorded. For many years your grandfather's writing has been part of my life. I was introduced to his poetry during highschool in 1965/1966 and I've never lost interest in it. Here in Chicago, I've read Fern Hill and other Thomas poems at local poetry open mics and the listeners' responses have always been wonderful. For myself, Fern Hill brings back so many of the feelings I had as a small boy playing and imagining so much in a world in which I thought I would never become old. Because of your grandfather's writing, I've been able in many ways to remain young though the number of my years has steadily increased. With thanks and all best wishes, Tom Mollo

Thanks ❤

lived in the uplands in 1993 and passed his house every day on my way to the bus. i went back to Germany after 3 months and felt in love with his work, when i was back at home. it makes me proud, that i could walk on his footsteps: Swansea, the Mumbles and Rhossili.🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

A fantastic documentary focusing on Dylan's poetry, not on his scandalous life. Many thanks!

Hannah very bach...

The most comprehehensive attempt at understanding the genius of DT so far.....

Typo in Blakes book. Is it..."Ocky Milkman's loft like a mouse with gloves"? Or "lofts"? Blake reckons loft...

What a wonderful documentary.

Great programme about great people

Wonderful
