Last Poems

Thomas poetry employed a simple, understated style which relied heavily upon natural speech patterns.
On 11 November 1985, Thomas was among 16 Great War poets commemorated on a slate stone unveiled in Westminster Abbeys Poets Corner. The inscription, written by fellow poet Wilfred Owen, reads: My subject is War, and the pity of War. The Poetry is in the pity.
Thomas was described by British Poet Laureate Ted Hughes as the father of us all.
