A Pearl of Great Price ― The Love Letters of Dylan Thomas to Pearl Kazin

New York, May, 1950. A warm Spring day and a thirty-five year old Welsh poet, Dylan Thomas, pushes through the revolving doors of Harper's Bazaar. There, he meets Miss Pearl Kazin, Fiction Editor, highly-educated and out to make her own mark on New York. One side of their correspondence has survived: six love letters, never before published.

Jeff Towns is an antiquarian bookseller who has been pursuing and dealing in the books, manuscripts, letters, iconography, and ephemera surrounding Dylan Thomas for more than 40 years. He is the author of Dylan Thomas: The Pubs, and the coeditor of Vernon Watkins on Dylan Thomas and Other Poets & Poetry.
