Can’t give an honest score. Prufrock and Other Observations is a solid collection but mostly pretty simple, Poems 1920 is pretentious to the point of incoherence. But The Waste Land might be the best thing on my bookshelf. Something I should return to a lot in my life.

Re-read this different edition, the quality of the introduction and the notes are good (although some of the notes to The Waste Land are less helpful). Recommend to a general reader or someone interested in thinking through a lot of Eliot's early writing but are maybe not as familiar with all of his work.

FINALLY GOT TO READ THIS CLASSIC AND ALL I CAN THINK ABOUT IS HEARING TS'S VOICE READING HIS NAMING OF CATS POEM (WHICH IS THE BASIS FOB CATS THE MUSICAL).

The collection of these poems, I enjoyed the majority of them. But just because I like poetry doesn't mean I have to like ALL FREAKING poetry. In the same way that just because I love art doesn't mean I have to like all art.
There are different genres within genres and joy cannot be forced where there is none.
Some of these poems I just skimmed through- making small "hmmms" before moving on because tey just didn't grasp my attention and I was eager for the next poem that I did not yet know about.
So whatever you decide is your decision.
