    Thank you very much, Hannah!
    Although I have only now, in 2022, listened to and viewed this documentary, I believe it must be as fresh as when it was recorded.
    For many years your grandfather's writing has been part of my life. I was introduced to his poetry during highschool in 1965/1966 and I've never lost interest in it.
    Here in Chicago, I've read Fern Hill and other Thomas poems at local poetry open mics and the listeners' responses have always been wonderful.
    For myself, Fern Hill brings back so many of the feelings I had as a small boy playing and imagining so much in a world in which I thought I would never become old.
    Because of your grandfather's writing, I've been able in many ways to remain young though the number of my years has steadily increased.
    With thanks and all best wishes,
    Tom Mollo

    Michael Sheen does a fine job of reading Dylan's poem, much better than most.

    "Fern Hill" is such a remarkable poem. I read, I think in Paul Ferris' biography about your grandfather, that Dylan didn't think it was his best poem. Of course, a poet is not always the best judge of such things.

    She doesn’t pronounce Dylan correctly

      I believe I read that that's the way Dylan pronounced it - at least, in his adult life.
