This poem collection had a few really incredible pieces that I loved. However the rest of it was just okay. I didn't love it but I didn't not like it.

"A poem in which two women are superimposed like ghosts, the shape of big cities and their mythologies, and which echoes the voice of Derrida on the spectrality of the image."

"It’s a short book, or a long poem, by Dylan Thomas, which achieves the remarkable feat of making me nostalgic about someone else’s childhood. Some of the best writing ever about snow."

Takes the well known poem and turns it into an awesome battle with sorcerors! (0 more)
Hammer meets Poe!
I saw this about 30 years ago and it's stuck in my mind. Vincent Price plays sorcerer, and if that isn't enough to get you to watch it, then I can't help you.... Some good effects in its day. This film actually made me want to read the poem, which for me, I'm sorry to say, wasn't as good as the film.

"It’s ‘The White Hotel’ by DM Thomas because I’ve only read to about page forty-seven. I couldn’t get past the poem section, which is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever read. As one solid book of poetry and evocative writing, it’s the best. I thought I was in that poem; kind of similar to the way Leonard Cohen makes me feel like I’m in his songs. I’ve recommended it to anyone who I thought could read."
