Giant Knitted Dylan Thomas Poem

To mark their cenenary, the Poetry Society have put together a giant patchwork knitted poem to mark the date, and chosen Dylan Thomas' "In my Craft or Sullen Art".

The poem is the work of more than one thousand knitters and crocheters worldwide. It measures 13m by 9m and will be on display in the Dylan Thomas Centre on Wednesday 11th and Thursday 12th November from 10am to 4pm.

The poem will then go on tour, before returning to Swansea to become a permanent part of the Dylan Thomas Centre's collection. To see images of the poem, visit the Poetry Society's website: http://poetrysociety.org.uk/content/knit/ or contact nicholasmcdonald@swansea.gov.uk
