VOTE: Dylan Thomas.

180 thinkers – Dylan Thomas took convention in prose and messed with it, did things his own way. His themes were often about unity but sometimes they were contradictory. He drew on lots of diverse influences, the Bible, Welsh Folklore and prominent psychologists. Dylan Thomas wove all this into something new and in turn became an inspiration himself.

All things I think are relevant to what we do around these here parts. – Lee Ifans, U-Turn Amsterdam
