Leftover Wife: Caitlin Thomas

Caitlin Thomas in conversation with Vincent Kane. When Dylan Thomas died in New York in 1953, his widow moved to Italy in search of sobriety and peace.

Another chance to see Caitlin Thomas in conversation with Vincent Kane. When Dylan Thomas died in New York in 1953, his widow moved to Italy in search of sobriety and peace. With the help of Alcoholics Anonymous, and after six years of struggle, she gave up alcohol, but peace still evaded her.

In this interview she talks frankly about her turbulent life with the poet, their drinking, their poverty, their fights; and also the difficulties she faced in the years since his death.
