Under Milk Wood: A Play in Voices by Dylan Thomas

Under Milk Wood: A Play in Voices by Dylan Thomas-107 pages

⭐⭐⭐1/2

This is a story of the townspeople of Llaregub, a small town in Wales. There are many colorful characters and narrators ("voices"). The story starts at night with the colorful townspeople's dreams and ends the following night as all are going to bed. It is funny at times and the songs rhyme often. Dylan Thomas was a poet, after all, but this is considered his masterpiece, which he finished right before his death. 

I enjoyed reading about a day in these characters' lives, although I must admit it was a bit hard to follow at times, especially with so many characters. This book intrigued me because I read about it in a previous book I just finished about the many literary influences of Taylor Swift. Taylor name drops him in The Tortured Poets Department alongside Patti Smith. I didn't know who he was, so I was intrigued to learn more about his life and works. I can see why she name dropped him after reading this play/book.
