EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures The Boathouse in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, Wales, a place deeply intertwined with the literary legacy of renowned poet Dylan Thomas. Built in the late 18th century, this charming, red-brick building overlooks the picturesque Taff Estuary and the River Taff. It was here that Dylan Thomas, one of the 20th century's most celebrated Welsh poets, found inspiration for his profound works. Thomas lived in The Boathouse from 1949 until his untimely death in 1953. The house, with its distinctive shed nestled at the water's edge, served as a sanctuary for the poet, providing him with a tranquil setting to write and reflect. Thomas' connection to this place is immortalized in his poem "Fern Hill," where he describes the "happiest moments of (his) childhood" spent "in the harness / Of the sun, coming upright out of the churning water." The Boathouse, with its rich literary history and breathtaking views, has become a pilgrimage site for poetry lovers and Dylan Thomas enthusiasts from around the world. This photograph, taken in 1988, offers a glimpse into the past, inviting us to imagine the creative mind of Dylan Thomas at work, inspired by the beauty and serenity of the Taff Estuary.
