Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A biography of the Welsh poet, regarded as one of the greats of the post-war period and whose work is published by Penguin, Orion and Bloodaxe. This is a sometimes surprising portrait, comic and absurd at times, which captures the warmth and humanity of a singular man, and is a strong successor to Rogers' previous acclaimed biography, "The Last Englishman: J.L. Carr".

Publisher's description:

Thomas is accepted, along with Ted Hughes, Philip Larkin and Seamus Heaney, as one of the great post-war British poets. He had a reputation for being an austere, unforgiving, taciturn, wintry man. This work unearths the story of this man's life, and that of his household - one both comic, absurd and touching.
