"Fern Hill" by Dylan Thomas (poetry reading)

A reading of Dylan's poem in which he evokes the innocence and wonder of his boyhood.
This was one of my first readings - not good quality There are minor errors in the reading, just articles and conjunctions which always happens in poems I know by heart, but they don't make a significant difference to the sense.

Superb reading of the poem. You know it and feel it and bring the experience of the poem across clearly in your interpretation.

Thank you for your kind words. Yes, I have known it by heart for many years and listened to it "inside my head".

GIVES ME CHILLS

[coryfinch]

I don't know if I should laugh or cry. Such, great joy and sadness. I'm left confused.

I've never believed in God, and know it's hard to deny.

At last. I love this reading. The poem that reminds me of my childhood spent on my grandparent's farm. I was in Swansea Wales a few years ago and regret not visiting his home. . .dear Mr. Thomas, you gave our language such beauty!

This is one of my favorite poem's of all time. I had to "interpret" it one time in high school when time was still green and golden. It never fails to move me. Thank you
