Description: 

This week on From the Vault, we celebrate National Poetry Month with one of the earliest recordings in the Pacifica Radio Archives collection, of perhaps the greatest Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas.

Only a year after KPFA went on the air in 1949, the station began recording Dylan Thomas. By 1952, less than a year before his death, Pacifica had recorded over seven hours of Thomas reading most of his own poetry and of others that he enjoyed. Today, we feature audio used today was recorded in 1950 at the University of California – Los Angeles, which begins with Thomas enjoying a rare moment of levity.

From the Vault is proudly presented as part of the Pacifica Radio Archives Preservation and Access Project.
