AI IMAGE - Portrait of Dylan Thomas sitting in a pub, 1950s, (2023). Welsh poet and writer Dylan was born in 1914 and died at the age of 39 in New York City. He augmented his income with reading tours and radio broadcasts. His radio recordings for the BBC during the late 1940s brought him to the public's attention. His readings in the United States in the 1950s brought him a degree of fame, while his erratic behaviour and drinking worsened. Although Thomas wrote exclusively in the English language, he has been acknowledged as one of the most important Welsh poets of the 20th century.
