I was speaking to-day with a very elderly lady, who has reams and reams of poetry by heart, and remains v sharp.
She was talking about 'Under Milk Wood', which I knew was written for the BBC (happy days!), and I had been speaking of Mucky Pig, and the wonderful audio stuff on here, which quite often brings poems to life for me, in a way I had never previously seen. She said, and seemed pretty sure, that this poem was actually written specifically for Richard Burton. Both Welsh, of course-- but is it true, or possible?
Separately, am I right in thinking that additions to these audio things have ceased?
