Dylan Thomas appears on a new Royal Mail first class stamp, issued on 25 March, to mark the centenary year of his birth. In other anniversary celebrations, a replica of the shed used by Dylan is touring schools in England and Wales. The original shed – his writing den - sits above the Boathouse overlooking the estuary in Laugharne, Carmarthenshire, where Thomas lived for four years before he died in 1953 in the US. Dylan Live,a bilingual performance tracing Dylan Thomas’ trip to New York through jazz, beat poetry, hip-hop, spoken word and film, will be featured at the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature in New York on Friday 2 May.
