I was born a child of Wales,
in Swansea, bashed by ocean swales.
In me resided poetry;
the voice I gave it made of me
a bard of some celebrity.
My name: t'was used by 'nother Dylan,
My jots inspired one famous Lennon.
Now here I sit in my home town,
Just one bronze chair to hold me down.
Or, hold me up to world renown.
Who am I?

No spoiler, just another hint: Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas named their first child after him, and if you tour his home you may be welcomed by President Jimmy Carter.
