Living with Legends
It’s Dylan Thomas’s birthday and that has reminded me that one of the things that got lost in the great crash was my link to the Chelsea Hotel blog, Living with Legends. It was at the Chelsea that Thomas lost his rage against the dying of the light.
And of course that other Dylan claims, in Sara, to have been
Stayin’ up for days in the Chelsea Hotel,
Writin’ “Sad-Eyed Lady of the Lowlands” for you.
The blog is written by a displaced Kentuckian, Ed Hamilton, and his wife Debbie Martin. It has been featured in the NYTimes [PDF file]. Another displaced Kentuckian, Ben Lucien Berman, lived at the hotel for years.
So drop by once in a while and see what’s going on in Bohemian New York. We have ties.
And if you want to raise a Black Russian to Mr. Thomas, you can hear him read the world’s most famous villanelle here at the American Academy of Poets.
