The library's book club always selects a volume of poetry for National Poetry Month and the group agreed to try Dylan Thomas. Some of the members have a college education, but I (the moderator) am probably the only one who has studied poetry. Our group has discussed Robert Pinsky, Nikki Giovanni, and Langston Hughes in the past and, although I knew Thomas would be a challenge, I thought we could handle his work. About half the members attended the meeting and almost all of them disliked or hated the selection.

Not recommended as a book club selection!
