Finding your way to Dylan Thomas
by Jeremy Dixon / Hazard Press
A4 zine fold, colour printed.
£3
A charming little literary zine, a homage to the work of Dylan Thomas and a poem about place.
The micro-book rests on a simple idea: a series of photographs of the signs that lead to Dylan Thomas' boathouse in Laugharne, South Wales - a place that directly inspired one of Dylan's most famous works Under Milk Wood.
Simple thought it might be, this little publication is ultimately greater than the sum of its parts. Finding your way to Dylan Thomas indirectly asks the question that all tourist pilgrimages must ultimately confront - what is it you've ultimately come to see? There is a melancholy in the locations of the heritage signs that ultimately must face the inevitable.

Fan of Dylan Thomas or not (and how can you really be a not?) it's an engaging publication from a press with many other intriguing literary experiments to explore.
