Deaths and Entrances (1946)

Probably Dylan's best known collection, Deaths and Entrances contains many poems that have subsequently been anthologised.

It was very well received after its publication and its first printing of 3,000 copies shows Dylan's growing reputation. Such was its popularity that a month later, a reprint of another 3,000 copies were issued and further copies of Twenty-Five Poems, The Map of Love and Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog were bound and sent out.

All these poems are republished in the Collected Poems.

The conversation of prayers
A Refusal to Mourn the Death, by Fire, of a Child in London
Poem in October
This side of the truth
To Others than You
Love in the Asylum
Unluckily for a death
The hunchback in the park
Into her lying down head
Paper and sticks
Deaths and Entrances
A Winter's Tale
On a Wedding Anniversary
There was a saviour
On the Marriage of a Virgin
In my craft or sullen art
Ceremony After a Fire Raid
Once below a time
When I woke
Among those Killed in the Dawn Raid was a Man Aged a Hundred
Lie still, sleep becalmed
Vision and Prayer
Ballad of the Long-legged Bait
Holy Spring
Fern Hill
