The idea
Dylan Thomas, a Welsh poet who died in nineteen fifty-three, wrote "Do not go gentle into that good night," a villanelle often linked with his dying father, and the radio drama Under Milk Wood, in which a narrator voices the dreams of a Welsh fishing town.
In practice
A villanelle; a play for voices.
Where people slip
A villanelle repeats two refrains.
