Reading Dylan Thomas poems i could not help but see it's similarity with Sylvia Plath. his poems in general are very dark with a lot of grotesque imagery and rhythm. After reading the Hunchback of the park i was very confused. so i read it a second time as a new Critics would, it was then i was able to appreciate the poem not for it's meaning but for the strong scenic imagery and the beautiful language he composed as he describes in line7-12 "eating bread from a newspaper, drinking water from the chained cup, that the children filled with gravel.."
even though i was not sure how all of it fit together, because to me there were too man things going on at the same time. never less as i was reading it i could definitely see a picture and scene from the different sections.
he is not one of my favorite poets maybe because i have a hard time connecting his poetry to myself or anything else i'm familiar with.
