FACTUAL ALLEGATIONS

30.

In March of 2012, Plaintiff discovered that the Welsh Government, acting through

Visit Wales, was using Plaintiffs Just Married photo without permission. Through Visit Wales,

the Plaintiff advised the Welsh Government that it owned copyright in the photo and promptly
demanded in writing that the Welsh Government cease and desist using Plaintiffs Just Married
photo.

31.

On or about March 30, 2012, a representative of the Welsh Government

acknowledged Plaintiffs notice of copyright and claimed that the Welsh Government would

comply with Plaintiffs demand that Defendant cease and desist use of the photo.
32.

Despite acknowledging Plaintiffs 2012 copyright notice and takedown demand,

the Welsh Government subsequently began new unauthorized uses of Plaintiffs Just Married
photo.

33.

Beginning in 2014, the Welsh Government began using unauthorized copies of

Plaintiffs Just Married photo in advertisements, promotions, brochures, and other tourismrelated materials, including materials directed specifically at residents of New York and intended
to lure American tourists to Wales.

34.

Attached hereto as Exhibits 1 and 2 are true and correct copies of examples of

publications and tourism materials published by the Welsh Government that feature unauthorized

and infringing copies of Plaintiff s JustMarried photo.

35.

Because information regarding the scope of Defendant's use of Plaintiffs

photographs remains in Defendant's sole possession, the full and complete scope of Defendant's
infringing uses of Plaintiff s Just Marriedwork has not yet been ascertained.

36.

In addition to making new unauthorized uses of Plaintiffs Just Married photo,

Defendant also created or acquired an unauthorized derivative copy of Plaintiff s Just Married

photo that it subsequently displayed, published, sold, and otherwise used without permission

from Plaintiff and despite knowing that Plaintiff claimed copyright in the underlying
photographic work.

37.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct uncropped copy of the

unauthorized derivative work created or acquired by Defendant. Exhibit 3 is a photograph, taken

from Defendant's website, of an old print of Plaintiffs Just Married photo that was being
displayed at the time on the mantle of a fireplace at the Birthplace of Dylan Thomas.
38.

Despite previously acknowledging Plaintiffs copyright notice, the Welsh

Government published, displayed, and offered for sale the unauthorized derivative of Plaintiff s
Just Married original work.

39.

Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a true and correct copy of a screen capture from

the website www.walesonview.com. which is owned and/or operated by the Welsh Government,
showing the unauthorized derivative copy being offered for sale as image "SVW-C53-12130171.JPG."

40.

The Welsh Government also provided this unauthorized derivative copy of

Plaintiffs Just Married photo to the other Publisher Defendants (as well as to other, yet-to-beascertained third parties) to use to promote Wales tourism and the Visit Wales campaign here in
the United States.

41.

The Welsh Government also used Plaintiffs Penard photo as part of its

advertising, tourism, and promotional campaign.

42.

Because information regarding the scope of the Publisher Defendants' use of this

unauthorized derivative copy of Plaintiff s photograph remains in the Publisher Defendants' sole

possession, the full and complete scope of Defendants' infringing uses of the unauthorized
derivative has not yet been ascertained.

43.

Attached hereto as Exhibits 5-12 are true and correct copies of various

publications and other documents showing that the Publisher Defendants published and
displayed unlicensed copies of Plaintiffs photos or unauthorized derivatives of Plaintiffs
copyrighted work.

44.

Because information regarding the scope of Defendant's use of Plaintiffs Penard

photograph remains in Defendant's sole possession, the full and complete scope of Defendant's
infringing uses of Plaintiff s Penard'work has not yet been ascertained.

license, Plaintiff alleges that Defendant exceeded the scope of any alleged license.

photoswhich Plaintiff contends it did notPlaintiffs March 2012 correspondence provided

sufficient notice to the Welsh Government that any purported license had been rescinded or

intellectual property for their own profit, causing Plaintiff significant injuries, damages, and

and willful.

copies of Plaintiff s works.

62.

The Welsh Government had the ability to prevent the Publisher Defendants and

other third parties from copying Plaintiffs photos or unauthorized derivative copies that were in
the control and possession of the Welsh Government.

63.

When the Publisher Defendants copied, displayed, published, or sold

unauthorized copies of Plaintiffs photos to promote Wales tourism they were acting at the
direction, behest, on behalf of, for, and/or under the control of the Welsh Government.

64.

2. CHUMLEY'S
86 Bedford Street

(between Grove Street and Barrow Street)

This is a self-guided walking tour of ten places

in Greenwich Village that are connected with the

Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, who visited and stayed

in New York City while on four reading tours of
North America between 1950 and 1953.

The tour is designed to provide you with a strong

sense of the real man behind the "brassy orator"
with "the lovely gift of the gab," as well as
giving you
a feel
for
Greenwich Village
of the 1950s.

We hope that you will find the walk both pleasurable

and informative. Please follow the directions on

this map. The tour will take around 1 hour and 30

minutes to 2 hours. Enjoy!

"Dressed to die. the sensual strut begun"

from Twenty-fouryears

Chumley's is an authentic speakeasy from the Prohibition era. Its

previous notoriety is confirmed by the fact that it still has no sign and.
as well as its main entrance, it offers a "secret entrance" on 58 Barrow

Street, through the backyard called Pamela's Court. Chumley's is New

York's second oldest literary bar (the White Horse Tavern is the first).
Its walls are covered with the framed pictures of its clientele of
legendary writers and samples of their book covers. Dylan Thomas is

Memorial Service

On Friday, 13th November 1953, four days after Dylan Thomas had
died, around four hundred people attended a memorial service for the
poet here in the third oldest church in New York. Hiswife. CaitlinThomas,
along with other chief mourners, was at the front of the church.

The gathering included poet e.e. cummings and sculptor David Slivka.
It was also the day when a grieving Caitlin accompanied the

coffined body of her husband, aboard the SSUnited States,on the long
and lonely journey back to Britain.

Dylan was one of the most famous poets in the English-speaking

world; and his popular and electrifying tours had made him a much
loved celebrity in America. While touring, he had found himself in

the company of some of the Twentieth Century's cultural greats,

including Charlie Chaplin, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Marilyn
Monroe, Thomas Mann, Henry Miller and Max Ernst.
The sales of his books rivalled those of T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound,

W.H. Auden and John Betjeman. Dylan's Collected Poems, published

on 10th November 1952. sold 30,000 hardback copies in Britain
within a couple of years. The Collected Poems went on to be even
more successful in America.

His early and unexpected death was a great shock on both sides
of the Atlantic. Leading British newspapers, such as the Daily Mail
and the Daily Express, acknowledged his genius and his colourful
poet's lifestyle. The British poet Philip Larkin said. "I can't believe

that DT is truly dead. Three people who've altered the face of poetry
and the youngest has to die." The other two poets were Auden and
Eliot. Vernon Watkins, a close friend of Dylan and Larkin, was, in fact,
asked to writean obituary before Dylan was actually dead.
Interestingly, one of the founding wardens of St. Luke's was
Clement Clarke Moore, the author of the world-renowned poem
'Twas the night before Christmas. He donated the land on which

the church was built. Dylan Thomas, of course, wrote the very
popular A Child's Christmas in Wales.

Dylan's Readings
The poet and playwright Edna St. Vincent Millay founded Cherry
Lane Theatre, which was originally Cherry Lane Playhouse, in 1924.
As New York's oldest off Broadway Theatre, it has been at the

forefront of providing innovative theatre for over eighty years.

The Downtown Theatre movement.The Living Theatre,established by
the actress and political activist Judith Malina, and the Theatre of the
Absurd came out of the Playhouse.

It showcased the early plays of EdwardAlbee and premiered Samuel

Beckett's Waiting for Godot. Its list of renowned performers includes
Gene Hackman. Bob Dylan and, of course, Dylan Thomas. Barbra
Streisand was once an usher there.

In 1952, on his second visit, Dylan did a special reading for the
artistic community. Tickets were only $1 a head and Thomas had

promised to read only his own poems. However, the show was nearly
cancelled when he arrived claiming to have lost his copy of his poems.
Judith Malina came to the rescue with a replacement that Dylan later
returned, complete with the hand-written bookmarks he had used for
the performance.

There is also another possible link between Edna St. Vincent Millay
and Dylan. Millay, who was born in 1892 and died in 1951, wrote a

poem Dirge without music. It has the following lines:

"Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave

Gently they go, the beautiful, the tender, the kind;

Quietly they go. the intelligent, the witty, the brave.

I know. But I do not approve. And I am not resigned."

It brings to mindThomas'sfamous villanelle Do not go gentle into

that good night, which was drafted in March 1951. Millay's poem,
in fact, appeared inTheNewPocketAnthology of American Verse, edited
by Dylan's American friend Oscar Williams, which contained some poems
by Dylan.

The Minetta Tavern, which was a speakeasy during Prohibition,
was known as The Black Rabbit until 1929. The Minetta Brook, which

began on 23rd Street on its way to the Hudson, inspired its name.
The brook still flows underground.
The old wood panelling and time-honoured candelabra, which are

Favourite Restaurants
The Grand Ticino. at the time one of the finest Italian restaurants in

Greenwich Village, is where Dylan is said to have experienced his first

meal in America. John Malcolm Brinnin, the organizer of Dylan's tours

of the USA, took him there on his second day in New York, after they
had been on a whistle-stop sightseeing tour of the city.
Dylan spent time at the Ticino with British poet Ruthven Todd and
New Zealand poet Allen Curnow.The white-table-clothed atmosphere
and friendly hospitalityobviouslyappealed to the Welsh poet. Hewrote
to his parents about American food. He had sampled milk shakes, fried
shrimp and "a T-bone steak the size of a month's ration for an English
family."

Healso liked to eat at a restaurant called the Little Shrimp,which was

attached to the Hotel Chelsea. It was the place where one of the most
significant recording deals was struck.

Barbara Cohen (later Holdridge) and Marianne Roney (later

Mantell) were two young women, college graduates, who nurtured
the idea that recordings of poetry could sell in sufficient quantities to
justify such a venture. They had decided that Dylan would be the ideal
contemporary poet for them to record.

Barbara worked for a small publisher and Marianne worked for a

Favourite Bars/Drinking
After the preferred White Horse Tavern, San Remo was one of

Dylan's favourite bars in Manhattan. It was the desired hangout for

a host of famous writers, artists, musicians and photographers,
including Tennesee Williams. William Burroughs, the Beat poets Al
len Ginsberg and Gregory Corso, W.H. Auden, James Baldwin, Frank
O'Hara, William Styron, James Agee, Jackson Pollock, Miles Davis, and

Weegee. Village character Maxwell Bodenheim was also a regular.

Gore Vidal once tried to pick up Jack Kerouac in the San Remo. It is the

Dylan met Allen Ginsberg in the Cafe. The Beat poet noted that

Dylan played on his fame; and an invitation to him to visit Ginsberg's

attic at 206 East 7th Street was turned down after a friend reminded

Dylan that Caitlin was waiting for them. Ginsberg left, sticking his
tongue out playfully and later regretted that he had not made more

The record of Dylan Thomas was the launch of Caedmon, a

company formed by the two enterprising women and powered

by their own money. It became one of the leading spoken-word
recording labels and is now part of HarperCollins. It was also the
beginning of the spoken-word recording industry. Since Dylan's first
recording many great and famous literary figures have committed
their voicesto Caedmon vinyl, including T.S. Eliot, JamesJoyce. Ernest
Hemingway and William Faulkner, and actors such as Charlton Heston

and Sir John Gielgud. The company eventually made the two women
very wealthy.

He was booked here into the Hotel Earle, which was a cheaper

place than the Beekman and also close to his favourite bars and
restaurants in Greenwich Village. In the 1950s the Earle was a
somewhat well-worn hotel. The atmosphere and the attitude of the

management and staff was easy-going. Dylan wrote a letter to his

parents in May 1950 in which he described the Earle as "right
in Washington Square, a beautiful Square, which is right in the middle
of Greenwich Village, the artists' quarter of New York."
Dylan and his wife Caitlin, on the second tour in 1952, spent a
couple of nights at the Hotel Earle before moving in to the Hotel
Chelsea, where they had a one-room kitchenette apartment.
The Hotel Chelsea is situated on West 23rd Street, between

Seventh and Eighth Avenues. Constructed in 1883. it became

Dylan's "home" on his American tours. Other famous literary figures
have stayed there, including 0. Henry, Thomas Wolfe and Arthur
Miller. Some famous people who lived there for a while include Sarah
Bernhardt, Jackson Pollack and the Welsh musician John Cale along with
his then wife Betsey Johnson.
It was at the Chelsea that Dylan worked on the final version of Under
Milk Wood prior to its New York premiere. It was also from there that
he was taken, unconscious, to St. Vincent's Hospital, where he died after
failing to come out of a coma. A plaque on the Hotel Chelsea reads:

published in 1936.

Dylan made some very good friendships in New York, in particular

with David Slivka, a sculptor, and his wife Rose, an art critic.Rose, infact,
became Caitlin's closest friend in America. Rose said of Caitlin, "She

was the artist's wife, and that can be a terrible place to be." The Slivkas
lived in Greenwich Village. David was born on the same day and year

as Dylan. 27th October 1914, and it was he and Rose who looked after
Caitlin when Dylan was in a coma and after he died.
It was David who made Dylan's death mask. The original mask is in
an upstairs bedroom of the Boat House in Laugharne, Wales. The mask
used to belong to Richard Burton and ElizabethTaylor until it was sold
after Burton's death. The last bust cast from the mask is in the Dylan
Thomas Centre in Swansea, Wales. David and Rose later divorced, but

Dylan's Death.

The American poet e.e. cummings (Edward Estlin Cummings)

lived here, with his third wife Marion Morehouse, a photographer
and fashion model, from 1923 until his death in 1962. Dylan really
admired cummings and. on the first tour of New York, he made a
special request to Brinnin to arrange a meeting with him. Brinnin,
who was present when Dylan and e.e. met, wrote in Dylan Thomas in
America: "...itseemed to me that some of their judgements showed the

Cummings, in fact, had been in the audience at Dylan's first reading

audience of more than a thousand people. The overwhelmed and
appreciative audience refused to let him leave the stage. According to

When he arrived in New York on Monday. 19th October 1953, for
his fourth tour, he was already desperately ill. Yet he still seemed to
have no desire to curtail his drinking or smoking. There is evidence that
he was becoming increasingly dependent on medication. He was also
suffering blackouts, and his behaviour, at times, was erratic.
On Tuesday, 3rd November, he started weeping in his bedroom at
the Chelsea. He told Liz Reitell that he wanted to die and "go to the

Debunking myths about Dylan Thomas in an official walking tour of New York's historic Greenwich Village.

Dylan 81 Caithn:Copynght JeffTowns

Dylan Thomas was greeted like a rock star when he crossed America to give his legendary readings to huge audiences. In
Greenwich Village, he was able to enjoy literary and musical pursuits in more relaxed and less public way. The architecture
and atmosphere appealed to him. He wrote to his parents saying that he found Washington Square Park, ' very beautiful.'
St tuke in the Fields inspired Dylan's "Child's Christmas in Wales,"he went to visit his pal ee cummings in Patchin Place,
and ate his first meal in America (which he said was as big as a month's ration for a British family).
The two hour tour was created in association with Aeronnwy Thomas, Dylan's daughter who was able to 'trial' the tour just
before she died. The tour guide is Ianto Roberts whose voice has an uncanny similarity to Dylan's. He weaves tales about
the extrovert bohemian artists of 1950's Greenwich Village in with stories about Thomas' life and death in New York.
This is the Official Dylan Thomas Walking Tour of New York,a collaboration of the Welsh Government in New York and the

LAUGHARNE, Wales In his short life, Dylan Thomas became one of the world's first
multimedia superstars through his spellbinding poetry, stage readings and dramatic writing for
the stage, screen, radio and television.
Just 39 when he died in November 1953, Thomas also was an inspiration for a generation of
younger artists, ineluding Bob Dylan and John Lennon. Followinghis passing, countless girls were
named in honor of his widow, Caitlin. His poetry, stories such as "A Child's Christmas in Wales"
and the play "Under Milk Wood" remain central to the Welsh literary canon.
This year, the centenary of his birth, offers a perfect opportunity to take a hike along the Dylan
Thomas trail. There is no better place to start this Welsh eoastal journey than Browns Hotel, the
Laugharne public house where he did some of his best work.

You never know who might join you for the Dylan Thomas 100 Festival. As I was leaving Browns,
the owner suggested delaying my departure and joining the small crowd gathered outside. An
hour later Prince Charles and the Duchess of Windsor greeted our group and made an
unannounced visit to this literary shrine, just a short walk from the idyllic boathouse where
Thomas lived with Caitlin and their children.

Something of a workaholic who rewrote his poems hundreds

of times in the small writing shed above his residence,
Thomas aiso was the life of the party on his legendary- tours
at home and across America. A series of multimedia

Laugharne weekends this summer are offered as "less a

Dylan Thomas festival than the kind of festival Dylan would

have liked to go to," according to the Dylan Thomas
Centennial program published by the sponsors of the Dylan
Thomas 100 program.
Easily combinable with hiking tours along the Wales Coast
Path is a pilgrimage to bucolic Carmarthenshire, which
inspired Thomas' famed poem "Fern Hill." It's also easy to
reach New Quay, the Ceredigion fishing village that became
the wellspring for the fictional village of Llareggub and his
poem "Quite Early One Morning."

If you go
The Welsh like to joke about the fact that
it costs $10 in bridge tolls to enter their
land, but there's no charge to leave.
Well worth the tariff, a visit to Dylan
Thomas Centennial (www.dt100.info)
begins with a trip to Swansea (three
hours west of London) and the Dylan
Thomas Centre. Although centennial
events are being staged in many Welsh
and UKvenues, this is a great place to
start your journey, you can pick up maps
and a picturesque set of walking
guides.

of-town tryouts included a solo performance of "Under Milk

Wood" at the Salad Bowl cafe on Tenbv's north cliff.

This reading, his last UK performance before his fatal journey to America, is just one more
landmark on the Thomas trail, which also includes the Dylan Thomas Centre in Swansea, his
hometown.

The hub of the Dylan Thomas 100 Festival Program, this collection is a literary landmark that
offers a chance to see the writer's notebooks, hear readings of his poetry and join events featuring
some of Wales' best known writers. Because Thomas was a close friend of leading novelists,
playwrights and poets on both sides of the Atlantic, the museum provides a panoramic view of the
mid-20th-centuiy literary canon.
"One of the mast beguiling things about Dylan's social character," wrote his friend, agent and
biographer John Malcolm Brinnin, "was the spell-like illusion of intimacy he would cast upon
anyone who came near. Everyone, it seemed, could command his intimate attention."
This intimacy, which extends to today's audiences, goes far beyond readings of his poetry at
funerals everywhere. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of a Dvlan Thomas walking tour is the
relationship between his work and village life. As often as he visited world capitals tor his
legendary command performances and partying, Thomas traveled under a cloud of nostalgia for
his native land.

To see why, visit Swansea's Cwmdonkin Park, where Thomas -- as he described it in his radio
broadcast, "Reminiscences of Childhood" "endured with pleasure, the first agonies of
unrequited love, the first slow boiling in the belly of a bad poem and the struggling and ravenlocked self-dramatization of what, at that time, seemed incurable adolescence."

Although the Dylan Thomas trail is only a small portion of the 870-mile-long Wales Coast Path, it
provides an intimate look at the literary life of an inspiring writer. His early departure from his
celebrated literary life remains the central mystery of life. Walking the Welsh paths he loved
makes one consider the great poems he might have written into his 40s and beyond.

Thomas Centre on Somerset Place will display his

notebooks, which are returning to Swansea for fhe

first time. The center has an extensive permanent

Dylan Thomas exhibition, from his "too happy

childhood" to his death in New York.

The exhibit opens with a tweed suit Thomas borrowed froman American painter, Jorge Fick, whenthe
writerran out of clean clothes in NewYork. Fick was storing his clothes at the Chelsea Hotel, where

Thomas collapsed, and this Is the suit he was wearingwhen he was taken to fhe hospital. Noone knows
ifthe ink stain in the right trouser pocket was from Dylan's pen.

For such a multimedia star, there are no moving images Of Thomas, just a silent newsreel of his funeral
procession in Laugharne. But his recordings continueto be money-spinnersfor his estate.
The Thomas Centre will be the headquarters for the special 2014 Dylan Thomas Festival, lasting from
his birthday Oct. 17 to Nov.9, the anniversary of his death.

Nearby, the Swansea City Centre Trail traces Thomas' life along the old landmarksand pubs he knew.
One of the stops is The Uplands Hotel, nowthe Uplands Tavern, where he first tasted beet: "Itslive White
lather, its brass-bright depths, the sudden world through the wet brown walls of the glass, the tilted rush
to the lips."

The tour also pops into Swansea's AdelphiTavern on Wind Street, where Thomas drank as a cub

Post. It was the only regular Job he ever held.

Thomas wrote and scrambled for money throughout his 20s, often heading lo Oxford and London. On a

trip to the capital In 1936. he met bohemian dancer Caitlin Macnamara In a pub. They married in 1937,
and a year later moved to Laugharne. about 30 milesnorthwest of Swansea, to make a home forfheir
children, Aeronwy, Llewellyn and Colm.

Laugharne, on a nook of the RiverTaf, is an ancient, oliffside settlement with a 13th-century fortress, ft
has a venerable literary past, too. Feminist philosopher MaryWollstonecraft lived in Laugharne, and her
daughter Mary Shelley, author of Frankehstein. often visited. Novelist Kingsley Amis wrote during stays
in the town, and Margaret Atwood set a short story in Laugharne.
Thomas called it simply "the strangest town in Wales."

The family moved around a bit in the villageof 400, always coveting the Boathouse perched on rocks on
the "heron prlested" Taf Estuary. The waves sometimes swept into the lower rooms, and there was no

running water or heat. Buta patron bought the house for the Thomases, and they lived there for the last
four years of his life, from 1949 to 1953.

Step inside and you'll hear Thomas, maybe his broadcast of Qt//fe Early One Morning. Much of the
furniture is original, and the tiny rooms have a lived-in feel.

Just 50 yards away, Thomas took an old garage as his Writing Shed. Here, on stilts above the cliffs, he
practiced his "sullen craft,"writing Under Milk Wood, Do Not Go Gentle Into Thai Good Night and Poem
on His Btihday.

Signposts make it easy to follow the two-mile walk which is the setting for Poem Ih October. Thomas' stroll
around Laugharne on his 30th birthday. Ifyou walk it on your birthday, withID, several local businesses
will give you freebles.
As Thomas' fellow Welshman and friend Richard Burton wrote in his diaries, I remember that Dylan

Thomas was almost embarrassingly sentimental about his birthday as indeed he shows in Poem In
October."

Most of Thomas' ramblings ended at Browns Hotel in Laugharne, where he would commandeer the bay
window to drink pints of Buckley's, write, read the papers and chat with the locals.

The town hosts the Laugharne Weekend each April, but this year, the festival has Branded into

Dylan Thomas became one ofthe world's

Thomas also was an inspiration for a

generation of younger artists, including Bob

Dylan and John Lennon. Following his
passing, countless girls were named in
honor of his widow, Caitlin. His poetry,

This year, the centenary of his birth, offers a

perfect opportunity to take a hike along the
Dylan Thomas trail. There is no better place
to start this Welsh coastal journey than

where he did some of his best work.

Something of a workaholic who rewrote his poems hundreds of times inthe small writing
shed above his residence, Thomas also was the life ofthe party on his legendary tours at
home and across America. A series of multimedia Laugharne weekends this summer are
offered as "less a DylanThomas festival than the kind of festival Dylanwould have liked to
go to," according to the DylanThomas Centennial program published by the sponsors of
the Dylan Thomas 100 program.

The hub ofthe Dylan Thomas 100 Festival Program, the Dylan Thomas Centre in
Swansea, his hometown, is a literary landmark that offers a chance to see the writer's
notebooks, hear readings of his own poetry and join events featuring some of Wales' best
known writers. Because Thomas was a close friend of leading novelists, playwrights and
poets on both sides ofthe Atlantic, the museum provides a panoramic view ofthe mid20th century literary canon.
IN MY SHOES

"One ofthe most beguiling things about Dylan's social character," wrote his friend, agent
and biographer John Malcolm Brinnin,"was the spell-like illusionof intimacy he would cast
upon anyone who came near."

Read & Share

Rem arkable worn en who've

been through it all tell their

stories.

This intimacy, which extends to today's audiences, goes far beyond readings of his poetry
at funerals everywhere. Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of a Dylan Thomas walking
tour is the relationship between his work and village life. As often as he visited world
capitals for his legendary performances and partying, Thomas traveled under a cloud of
nostalgia for his native land.
To see why, visit Swansea's Cwmdonkin Park, where Thomas as he described in his
radio broadcast, "Reminiscences of Childhood" "endured with pleasure, the first
agonies of unrequited love, the first slow boiling in the belly of a bad poem and the
struggling and raven-locked self-dramatization of what, at that time, seemed incurable

Although the Dylan Thomas trail is only a small portion ofthe 870-mile-long Wales Coast
Path, it provides an intimate look at the literary life of an inspiring writer. His early
departure from his celebrated literary life remains the central mystery of life. Walking the
Welsh paths he loved makes one consider the great poems he might have written into his
40s and beyond.

Exploring Dylan Thomas' Wales

Exploring DylanThomas' Wales

Photo: Crown copyright (2013) Visit Wales

In Swansea's renovated Maritime Quarter, steps from the

harbor, book a room at stately Morgans Hotel. The Port
Authority's former brick and limestone headquarters now

features luxurious rooms with polished woodwork and high

ceilings, an elegant dining room and a spacious column-lined
bar.

Around the cornerat The Dylan Thomas Centre, a permanent

exhibit displays the poet's manuscripts, photos and other
memorabilia, including the borrowed, ink-stained suit he wore

on his fetallecture tour in New York in1953. The center's

bookstore stocks copies ofThomas works and CD's, plus

excellent guidebooks like The Dylan Thomas Trail, a four part
series, and Dylan Thomas: Swansea, Gower and laugharne
by JamesA. Davies (University ofWales Press, 2000).
The Centre isalso the site ofthe annual, two week Dylan
Thomas Festival, October 27-November 9. Reflecting
Thomas' reputation as both a distinguished man ofletters and
a beer swilling roustabout, the festival is similarly eclectic.
Onenight I hear Gillian Clarke, the distinguished white-

maned National Poet ofWales, reading from her newly penned

story inspired by Thomas' "A Child's Christmas in Wales."

Another night, the Bluestocking Lounge stages an uproarious

burlesque showalternating bawdy striptease acts with
snatches of poetry.

It's a short walk to the waterside where, in Dylan Thomas

Square, a bronzestatue ofthe seated poet overlooks a yacht

filled marina. Here, too, isthe Dylan Thomas Theatre, once

the Swansea Little Theatre,where the poet performed as a
teenager. Rising above, it all is the contemporary Meridian

Tower, where the Grape &Olive restaurant serves upWelsh

specialties like fish pie, and cawl, a hearty lamb stew. Sample
the country's finest ales anddrink infabulous 360degree
views ofthe "harp shaped hills"and "water lidded lands" that
inspired Thomas.

In the hilltop enclave ofThe Uplands isthe Dylan Thomas

Birthplace, a stucco and brick Edwardian style "villa." From

thesecond floor guest room, where thepoet was born, enjoy

splendid views ofSwansea Bay. In the downstairs parlour,'
with itsbrick fireplace guarded bywhite ceramic poodles, a
shiny brass gramophone and flowered sofa,"the uncles
snoozed" in Thomas' famous reminiscence in, "A Child's
Christmas in Wales." You can rent the entire four bedroom
house for a day or longer. Or just ring up homeowner Geoff
Haden and pop in for a tour.

Steps away is Cwmdonkin Park, which Thomas fondly recalled

as "a world within the world of the sea town." Guarded by

enormous yew trees like a sacred Druidic site, the rolling
greens are dotted with huge oaks. The cast iron fountain that
Thomas and his playmates drank from is still there. Beside a
gentle rill, shaded by weeping willows, a memorial boulder is
inscribed with the final verse of "Fern Hill."

In The Uplands, the poet's upwardly mobile father sought

middle class respectability. But, down near the waterfront,

Thomas came of age. Steps from Morgans Hotel, Dylan

worked at the South WalesEvening Post for a year as a cub
reporter before devoting himself entirely to poetry. The
newspaper offices have moved but around the corner, the

Queens Hotel, a pub Thomas and fellow reporters frequented,

remains. Since Dylan's day, when the "shilling women" wrote
the price of their favors on the soles of their shoes, much has

changed. But the longburnished woodbar remains and Gary,

the proprietor, plans to class up the joint by decorating the
walls with Dylan Thomas verses.
Facing Morgans, Wind Street, once choekablock with wine

merchants, is now lined with several blocks of pubs. On a

Saturday night, the No Sign Wine Bar, another Thomas
watering hole, is a people watcher's paradise packed with
young men in tee shirts and black leather jackets and young
women tarted up in skintight mini-dresses and spandex.
Mumblesor as purists put it, The Mumblesis about five

mileswest of Swansea. Facing the bay, the town's single main

street is lined with inns, restaurants and pubs, includingThe
Antelope, another Dylan Thomas haunt. Mumbles is the
gateway to the Gower Peninsula, chosen as the U.K.'s first

"Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty" in 1956. It's rimmed

with more than a dozen bays and another dozensandy

beaches. As a boy, Thomas camped here with his family. As a
teenager, he romanced local girls on the golden sands of
Langland and Caswell Bays, and climbed the limestone cliffs at

Rhossili. Today, visitors surf, ride horses, kayak and

mountain bike here. They also hike the 35 mile GowerWay,

which crosses the peninsula, or the 39 mile Gower leg ofthe
870 mile. Wales Coastal Path, the first trail to encircle an
entire country.

An hour west of Swansea lies the village of Laugharne

pronounced "larn"where Thomas spent the last four years
of his life. He delighted in the "legendary lazy little black
magical bedlam by the sea" whose splendor also captivated
Samuel Coleridge and Man- Wollstonecraft, feminist author of
A Vindication ofthe Rights of Women and mother of
Frankenstein author Mary Shelley.
Smack in the middle of town at Browns Hotel, Thomas held

court daily, while seated in a bay window,sipping ale and

playing cards. The 14 spacious upstairs rooms have all been
recently renovated as have those at another Thomas haunt,
The New Three Mariners Inn.

Thomas rented lime green Pelican House across the street for

his elderly parents. In 1951,inspired by his dyingfather,

Thomas wrote the poem, "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good

Night," urging him to "Rage,rage against the dying ofthe

light." Two years later, Dylan's own body lay in state here
before being buried under a simple white cross in nearby St.
Martin's Churchyard.

Also acrossfromthe hotel, CorranBooks Ispresidedover by

the leonine George Tremlett, whowrote a 1991 Dylan Thomas
biography and co-wrote a 1986 autobiography by Caitlin
Macnamara, Dylan's golden haired wife and muse. In the tell-

all book,whichdetails the couple's enduring love as well as

their frequent infidelities and drunken brawls, Caitlin recalled

spending the happiest years of their marriage at Sea View, a

yellow and white house around the corner.

It's a short walkto the RiverTaf Estuary, guarded by

12"'century Laugharne Castle. In adjacent Castle House,

novelist Richard Hughes wrote his 1929bestsellerAHigh

Wind in Jamaica. In the house's gazebo, Thomas later wrote

hisshort story collection, Portrait ofthe Artist as a Young

Tk>y. Here the two writers and their wives often entertained

Exploring Dylan Thomas' Wales

Photo: Clown copyright C2013) Visit Wales

Just beyond Castle House in his whitewashed Writing Shed,

Thomas wrote his famous play for voices, Under Milk Wood,

while contemplating cattle across the estuary on Sir John's

Hill. BobStevens, a gentleman farmer who keeps cattle there,
has laid out a two mile hilltop trail that's modeled after the
30"' birthday walk Thomas recounted in "Poem in October."

From the hillyou can see clear across the estuaiy's opalescent
blue waters rimmed, as Thomas put it, with "mussel pooled
and heron priested" shores.

Wales

Steps away on a cliffjust above the estuary Is The Dylan

Thomas Boathouse, the "seashaken house" where the poet

lived with his wife, three children and dog Mably. Visitthe
small parlor with its coal fireplace and humble 1940's

furniture and watch films about Dylan Thomas in an upstairs

bedroom. Have tea and a slice of currant-filled Welsh cake on

the slate terrace. Then hie back to Browns, as Dylan Thomas

wouldhave done, to gossipwith the locals, while downing a
couple pints of ale with the same "brass bright depths" and
"live white lather" that inspired the poet.

Hip-hop, Dylan Thomas and Wales
By Kevin Powell

I have been in love with and a participant in hip-hop culture since I was 13. Coming of age in the New York City metro area, the birthplace
of hip-hop, is the reason why, no question. Working-class Black and Latino youth created this music, this energy, and we really had no idea
how much it would affect the entire planet.

?,

Early on I tagged graffiti with magic markers wherever I could, and danced to hip-hop at every kind of
party imaginable. Somewhere between my college years and the mass explosion of hip-hop in the early
1990s I started writing poetry and joined the hip-hop-inspired spoken word movement happening in New
York. Then when music legend Quincy Jones launched Vibe magazine, to document hip-hop from all
angles, I was very fortunate to get on board as one of the staff writers. I interviewed major rap stars of
the era, including the late Tupac Shakur on several occasions. Years after I would produce the very first
exhibit on hip-hop culture in America, via the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Beyond all of this I have lectured about hip-hop culture, and the differences between the culture and what

v/wi*

I call "the hip-hop industry," across the United States and globally. I have been blown away time again
how hip-hop is the dominant youth culture on the planet. Even in Wales, the United Kingdom, where I
recently spent significant time there is no greater evidence of this than a local organization based in
Cardiff, the Welsh capital, called Grassroots Cardiff: http://www.grassrootscardiff.com/ P

I was invited to Grassroots to speak to its youth, who range in age from 16-25 and are all working-class, just as
the famous Welsh coal miners of generations past. Where those miners formed all-male choirs to give voice to their
passions today the Welsh young people of today have hip-hop. Grassroots Cardiff is a combination multimedia space,
self-help center, and safe space for these young people. Three of them performed raps for their peers and myself
and I felt as if I were back somewhere in the U.S.: they wore the "uniforms" of American hip-hop, the baseball
caps, the tee shirts or hoodies, the work boots or sneakers (what they call "daps") in Wales; they had the
mannerisms of hip-hop down as if they had created it in Wales, not Black and Latino youth in New York City; and
they rapped about their Wales, about their hopes, fears, sorrows, and dreams.

This was hip-hop at its finally, fully loaded from Wales. I took to a microphone to speak with these youth and
discussed my main reason for being in Wales: the nation's greatest writer ever, Dylan Thomas. Some youth knew of
Dylan Thomas and some did not. It did not matter. I shared with them Thomas' short 39-year life and his great
impact, from his roots in Wales, on African American writers like myself. The Grassroots young people were very
surprised, and I can see a feel of pride swell in the room. For here they were, Welsh young people inspired by an
African American art form called hip-hop, yet I, a Black man from America, was telling them that an artist from Wales had affected me
greatly.

This is one of the great wonders of Wales, especially given that it has had multi-ethnic communities for
centuries, including the first such neighborhood of its kind, Tiger Bay, right here in Cardiff. So there is an

openness and a crossing of many cultural boundaries here in Wales passed from generation to generation,
from African American artist and humanitarian Paul Robeson working with Welsh coal miners in the 1920s

and 1930s, to African American me, writer, activist, hip-hop historian, bonding with these Welsh hiphoppers in the 21st century.

Part of the bond, for sure, is the mutual love and appreciation of music that the Welsh and Black

Americans share. Coal miners came together to form all-male singing choirs as a way to express
themselves freely, in their own language, on their own terms. Similarly hip-hop is a mostly all-male
created art form, created by working-class people just as those Welsh coal miners were, as a way to

speak for themselves, to make something magical seemingly from nothing. I highly recommend to any
African American who visits Wales to not only tour the coal mines, and to spend some time listening to
one of the all-male choirs that still exist, but to also stop by places like Grassroots Cardiff.

I was able to visit each of these things and it all deepened not only my appreciation for the people and culture of Wales, but also for my
own roots as an African American, and how much my culture means to the world.
