Thomas, poet and Nobel Prize winner (5)

I believe the answer is:

dylan

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'thomas poet' is the first definition.
(poet Dylan Thomas)

'nobel prize winner' is the second definition.
(Bob Dylan, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature)

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for dylan that I've seen before include "American singer-songwriter Bob, b. 1941" , "and 19: Welsh poet" , "Bob (singer) - Thomas (author)" , "Bob --, Nobel prize winner" , "Bob -, Blowin' in the Wind singer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
