Written by Welsh poet Peter Thabit Jones and Aeronwy Thomas, daughter of Dylan Thomas and herself a poet, in association with the Welsh Assembly Government/Wales International Center, New York.

October, 2008 saw the New York press launch of the DYLAN THOMAS WALKING TOUR OF GREENWICH VILLAGE, NEW YORK, including the new podcast facility featuring Welsh actor John Pierce Jones.

Peter and Aeronwy were commissioned by Catrin Brace of the Wales International Center, New York, to write the WALKING TOUR, which appears on their website and major American and British tourism/websites.

Potential tourists to New York are able to download (PDF - 1540Kb) and print it and use as a practical Guide to "follow in Dylan's footsteps".

It contains essential biographical material on Dylan, information on his American tours, information - literary and basic facts - on each place connected with Dylan, and an Addenda: brief notes on other people and places mentioned throughout the Guide, such as Swansea, Laugharne, American novelist Norman Mailer, and John Malcom Brinnin, Dylan's Tours organiser.

The publication coincided with the release of a new film about the life of Dylan Thomas called The Edge of Love , which stars Matthew Rhys, Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller. Catrin Brace, who works for the Welsh Assembly Government in New York said: "Fifty years after his death, there is still a huge interest both in Wales and the USA in Dylan Thomas and his work. Visitors will be able to gain a strong sense of the real man behind "the brassy orator" with "the lovely gift of the gab", as well as giving people a real feel for the Greenwich Village of the 1950s."
