Â鶹ԼÅÄ

Written in late 1945 and published in the collection ‘Deaths and Entrances’ in 1946, this poem has been described by reviewers as an ‘explanation of why poets do what they do’. Read on this recording by Thomas, it was first broadcast in December 1945 in a programme called ‘Poetry Promenade’ for The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Service.
