The Wasteland, Prufrock, and Other Poems by T.S. Eliot
5.0
Holy crap.
T.S. Eliot has my whole heart.
I know that poetry with a rhyming scheme is often looked down upon by more well-versed members of the poetry community, but I find that if it is done in a tasteful way I more often appreciate it than not. The themes of real life melding into Eliot’s headspace make for some beautiful verbiage. One of my personal favorites is
“Polyphiloprogenetive
The sapient sutlers of the Lord
Drift across the window panes
In the beginning was the word.”
-the beginning of a brief poem about Eliot’s experiences on Sunday.
