The Dylan Thomas Notebooks have arrived in Swansea and are proudly on display as part of the Dylan Thomas Notebooks Exhibition at the Dylan Thomas Centre. This exhibition is just one of the many exciting ways in which 2014 can be celebrated as the centenary year of Dylan Thomas’ birth. The Notebooks exhibition is a rare opportunity to see Dylan’s notebooks and manuscripts up close in the city where he was born. Dylan began writing his notebooks from aged 15 and they played a major role in creating many of the poems we know today.
As part of the exhibition, you will find four of Dylan Thomas’ poetry Notebooks written between 1930 and 1934, and the Red Prose Notebook that also dates from this time. They are accompanied by supporting material such as extracts from letters which refer to the poems and the processes involved in their writing. You’ll also find and a self-portrait in coloured pencil Dylan drew on the back of a letter to Pamela Hansford Johnson. The items are on loan from the University of Buffalo in the USA.
