Actor Celyn Jones, who played Thomas in the film Set Fire To Our Stars, will read the poem after a university professor found it by chance, according to the BB.
A Dream of Winter was forgotten after it was published by a magazine in 1942, before Thomas found fame.
Dylan, who died in 1953, became one of Britain's most-loved writers with works such as Under Milk Wood, my particular favourite, and the reading of the poem will take place in London on Friday at an exclusive event with an invited audience.
The poem was discovered when Swansea University Professor John Goodby was contacted by a teacher at his old school. Allan Wilcox had found the poem on a ripped magazine page amongst the pages of a book on Dylan belonging to the professor's recently deceased English teacher.
