Run as a labour of love for 12 years by Andrew Dally

I only make occasional visits here now

As some of you will know, as well as founding & running this feed as a labour of love since 2012, I have also been managing social media for the Dylan Thomas estate for the past 9 years. Sadly all good things must come to an end.

My days on twitter are largely over, but I wanted to briefly return to remember Gwen Watkins who I was lucky enough to meet. She told great stories of her husband Vernon and Dylan Thomas

@MissLizBerry Also the late Ruth Bidgood was 50 before her first collection came out

@MissLizBerry I don't think Charlotte Mew had any poetry published until she was in her 40s

This October it’s 110 years since the birth of Dylan Thomas so I took myself off to @DTCSwansea to check out the exhibits for a work thing. I came across this 1953/4 event calendar for The Poetry Center in NYC - look at the line up! What a time to be alive.
