WALES ART REVIEW on LETTER OF THOMAS TO KAZIN
Excerpt: Their affair is chronicled in John Malcolm Brinnn's Dylan Thomas IN America which scandalized the literary world when it was published in 1955 (to the extent Thomas' friend and fellow poet Vernon Watkins moved to refuse permission for publication of his correspondence with Dylan Thomas). Yet far from taking easy advantage of any apparent sacrificial longings, Brinnin makes the point that Kazin's professional sophistication, her dark handsomeness and social poise 'made her precisely the sort of women from whom one would expect Dylan Thomas only to flee'.
