Fabulous, wonderful collection to read alongside some criticism. I sleep with this by my bedside.

Wipe your hand across your mouth, and laugh; The worlds revolve like ancient women Gathering fuel in vacant lots. - from "Preludes, IV" T.S. Eliot may be safely referred to as the most important stylistic influence on English poetry in the last 100 years (perhaps in the last 200, in any language)! His evocative use of imagery and precise control of syntax are absolutely breathtaking, his mastery of tension and juxtaposition may eventually be seen as the archetypal expression of these

I'm not a poetry guy outside the inspired poetry in the Bible. Four stars is strong. T.S. Eliot, in turn, doesn't engage in poetic tricks for their own sake, but as a format to deliver truth, and sometimes biblical Truth, as I would hope to find it in prose.

This collection is a monument to 20th century thought. Eliot is an image maker and a wordsmith of the highest caliber and a monumental thinker. His early work, centering so much as it did on the underbelly of human existence (e.g., Prufrock and The Waste Land) demonstrates not only a bleak existence of mankind but the yearning desire to motivate itself towards hostile and ugly things, all the while attempting to perform feats of magic which often go awry. One can spend a great deal of time on

Eliot. Hmmmm. You see, Eliot (like Celine) is problematic. Each Jewish reader, when they sit down to read Eliot (or Celine) has to decide for him or herself whether the anti-semitism can be overlooked. Sometimes it can, sometimes it can't. Eliot had no use for Jews (though he did entertain Groucho Marx in his home). But after long consideration many years ago I decided that his poetry wasn't (for some reason which I couldn't pin down) infected by his own personal faults and diseases. (You

I still have the edition I pilfered from my high school library. After I was the only one to check it out for about a year, I decided I would just keep it. And I have loved it ever since. Eliot is titillating and sharp, also poignant and worldly. He was my first poetic love.
