I don't seem to have the patience needed to properly enjoy poetry. I find myself wanting it to be over. Or maybe I just haven't read enough poetry. I absolutely loved about three poems in here, about a quarter of them I thought were good, and I didn't get the rest.

This isn't the first or last time I've read Eliot, but I do think it's my favorite time. For whatever reason, reading "The Waste Land" at this moment in my life, in history, made it resonate more strongly than it has before, and "Four Quartets" just rocked my face off. Oh, poetry, how you undo me again and again.

This collection includes all of TS Eliot's classic poems. I do not read poetry often but I have been told, and think it is true, that being familiar with poetry helps you become a better and more concise communicator.
In this volume I especially enjoyed "The Love Song of J. ALfred Prufrock", "The Hippopatmus", "The Waste Land", "Hollow Man" and "Ash Wednesday". Especially "The Waste Land" and "Hollow Man" for their assessment of the modern world.

This wasn't quite what I was expecting, although enjoyable all the same. I don't think T.S. Eliot is my poet of preference but I don't regret reading the book.
