Artists in Dylan Thomas's Prose Works
Through an analysis of the artist figures in Thomas's early experimental prose, Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog, Adventures in the Skin Trade, and Under Milk Wood, Mayer illustrates that he was continually exploring and re-evaluating his vocation, the nature of his chosen medium, and the world itself. Mayer links Thomas's prose works to his poetry through the blending of lyric and narrative strategies. As well, she examines Thomas's self-conscious concerns about his relationship to his modernist contemporaries.

The 'Flesh's Vision': Dylan Thomas's Poetics of Sensation
Light breaks where no sun shines; Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart Push in their tides; And, broken ghosts with glow-worms in their heads, The things of light File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bones. In \"I see the boys of summer,\" \"the bright-eyed worm on Davy's lamp\" (35) is a reference to the safety lamps used in mines (invented by Humphry Davy in 1815), which glow inside the bowels of the earth. In Thomas's poetics, \"the limits of the visible, the invisible, depth and surface, are rearranged\" (Danius 81). [...]the things of light / File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bones\": invisible forms of light run through the flesh, in order to \"break where no sun shines.\" When all my five and country senses see, The fingers will forget green thumbs and mark How, through the halfmoon's vegetable eye, Husk of young stars and handfull zodiac, Love in the frost is pared and wintered by, The whispering ears will watch love drummed away Down breeze and shell to a discordant beach, And, lashed to syllables, the lynx tongue cry That her fond wounds are mended bitterly.
