That's an interesting one! The title is actually a line from a famous poem by Dylan Thomas, not a book title itself. There are a few ways this pops up in the audio world, depending on what you're really after. If you just want the poem itself, you can find Dylan Thomas reading his own work on sites like YouTube or some poetry archives—his voice is incredible, all gravelly and intense, totally fits the poem's mood.
But if you mean a full audiobook about the poem or a book that uses it as a title, that gets trickier. There's a science fiction novel called 'Do Not Go Gentle' by S.T. Hibbert that came out a couple years back. The audiobook for that is on Audible and probably through library apps like Libby. The poem's theme of raging against death pops up all over the place in other stuff too, like in 'Interstellar'—the movie uses it in a huge scene. Searching for audiobooks that analyze the poem or its cultural impact might be your best route if the poem itself is the draw.
Might be a mix-up with the poem? I was looking for it as an audiobook once and hit the same wall. Found the actual Dylan Thomas reading on Spotify, of all places—just search his name and the poem title. It's in some of his collected works compilations there.
If a novel is what you want, I remember a mystery thriller that came out last year with a similar title, 'Do Not Go Gentle', but I can't recall the author. Checking Audible's search with that exact phrase should pull it up if it exists. Honestly, half the time these searches lead me down a rabbit hole of anthologies where the poem is included as a chapter intro or something.
Yeah, it's primarily a poem. The most powerful audio version is Dylan Thomas's own recording. You can find it on major poetry foundation websites or streaming services. For a full-length audiobook, you'd need to look for a novel that borrowed the phrase for its title, which is less common. The original poem reading is only a minute or two long, but it's absolutely worth hearing in his voice.

Mom said I needed to toughen up, so she made me walk home alone.
"You're ten. Everyone else can do it. Why can't you? If you were even half as capable as your cousin, I wouldn't have to worry so much."
I shook my head and signed, [I can't hear. Crossing streets isn't safe.]
She gave me that look. Total disappointment.
Then she walked off with my cousin, Sadie.
What Mom didn't know was that before school let out, Sadie had stopped me.
Said she was helping Mom make me independent.
Then she snatched my hearing aid.
Now the whole world was silent.
I followed the crowd down the sidewalk.
At a small intersection, a car spun out, horn blaring.
Everyone scattered.
Everyone but me.
I couldn't hear it.
My spirit rose above the street. Below, my body lay in a pool of blood.
Mom...
Sorry.
I couldn't do this independence thing.
Nadia Reyes has died twelve times. Different centuries, different methods — same hands, same face, same cold eyes watching her take her final breath. At twenty-seven, armed with soul memories that science cannot explain and a rage that twelve lifetimes of dying has sharpened into something precise, she stops running. She spends eight months engineering an introduction to Dorian Ashvale — the man her soul recognizes as her killer — seduces him deliberately, and marries him with one goal: end the cycle on her terms before he ends it on his.
Dorian doesn't remember any of it. He only knows that Nadia feels like a memory he was never supposed to have, and that marrying her is the first decision in his life that has ever felt completely, terrifyingly right. But as Nadia moves closer to executing her revenge, her forensic genealogy skills uncover something that fractures everything — Dorian's violence across lifetimes wasn't chosen. His soul has been hijacked by an ancient predatory entity that feeds on Nadia's interrupted purpose, growing stronger every time she dies before completing something she was always meant to finish.
The monster she married didn't kill her. Something far older did — using his hands.
As the entity begins to activate, triggering blackout episodes Dorian cannot control, Nadia faces the most dangerous realization of all thirteen lifetimes: she is falling in love with the man she planned to destroy. Book 1 ends when Dorian surfaces from his worst blackout yet to find Nadia bleeding — and looks at her with the eyes of a man who remembers nothing and is about to lose everything.

My wife, Sophia Shelby, spent a fortune snatching a kidney donor from my mother, only to save her ex-boyfriend’s life. Meanwhile, my mother had been waiting for three years.
Before my mother died, she wanted to see our child.
I told her it was gone.
Sophia had aborted our child for the sake of her infertile ex-boyfriend, James Carl. She had chosen to go through IVF with him.
I had charged into the hospital and confronted Sophia, but James stopped me.
“She’s my wife! What gives you the right to keep me from seeing her?!”
“She’s pregnant with my child.”
I flew into a fit of anger. Barging into the ward, I shouted at Sophia, “I want a divorce!”
Inside, Sophia replied to me with irritation, “Divorce it is! Why are you yelling at James?”
My dad always calls me a lazy bum. It is because I often fall asleep without warning. I sleep in class, while eating, and even while crossing the street.
My homeroom teacher, Yvonne Smith, suggests that he take me to a hospital for an examination.
But Dad scoffs and says, "He's just staying up all night playing on his phone."
After that, he confiscates my phone and removes the lock from my bedroom door. Every time I get sleepy, he slaps me.
I don't want to be hit, and I don't want to make Dad angry. So, I start pinching my thighs, pulling out my hair, and even rubbing hand sanitizer spray under my nose to stay awake.
But whenever the overwhelming drowsiness hits, nothing can stop it.
On the day of the final exams, Dad happens to be one of the invigilators.
I bite my lip until it bleeds and silently beg myself inwardly, "Just this once, please stay awake."
Still, I fail to fight off the sleepiness.
Suddenly, someone flips over my desk. The chair tips with it, and I crash to the floor. My temple slams into the corner of the desk, and darkness instantly floods my vision.
Dad stands over me, furious and disappointed. "Zach Davies, are you really so obsessed with sleeping that you don't even care about your final exams? If you're that lazy, then stay down there and keep sleeping!"
I lie sprawled across my exam paper as my vision slowly fades away.
Dad, I think I am going to sleep for a very long time…
Five years after I rejected my mate, Shawn, he had become the Lycan King — and most importantly, he now had a beautiful mate.
During the Werewolf Alumni Reunion, someone suddenly brought me up.
“What’s Kendra been busy with? She hasn’t shown up at a single reunion in years.”
Someone sneered. “She’s too busy seducing alphas from other packs — on airplanes.”
“On airplanes?”
“Yeah. She’s a werewolf flight attendant with FullMoon Airways. They cater to alphas and lunas from all kinds of packs. I’ve seen her on board before. You wouldn’t believe how flattering she acts around those prestigious wolves.”
“Really? Kendra’s a werewolf attendant? No surprise — she’s always dreamed of being claimed by some single alpha.”
Hearing that, Shawn, sitting at the center of the table, flinched slightly. His fists tightened.
“A werewolf attendant?” he murmured.
“Yeah, Shawn... but haven’t you gotten over her by now? It’s been years.”
He froze for a second, then quickly composed himself and held his mate’s hand beside him.
Everyone’s attention turned to the flickering moonstone ring on her finger.
“I’ve long forgotten her,” he said flatly. “Come to my bonding ceremony next month. There will be a sacred ritual at the temple.”
“Wow...”
Applause filled the hall.
But only I, whose soul had been drifting in the air all along, slowly lowered my head upon hearing the news.
