Poems

by T. S. Eliot

This collection of poems by T.S. Eliot showcases his early work, encompassing a range of styles and influences. The poems explore themes of modern alienation, the breakdown of traditional values, and the search for meaning in a fragmented world. Eliot's masterful use of language and his innovative approach to form and structure are on full display. The collection includes some of his most iconic poems, such as "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" and "The Waste Land," which helped to define the literary landscape of the 20th century. The collection also includes poems written in French, with lines or couplets in Latin and Italian, reflecting Eliot's multilingual background and his interest in the literary traditions of Europe.
