T.S. Eliot
« on: August 02, 2006, 12:25:59 AM »
Anyone read any of his poetry? I hardly read any poetry and know nothing about writing it, but I randomly started reading some of his poetry. Even better than reading it, though, is listening to it. I was listening to NPR a month or so ago and heard him reading some poem (don't know which one; at the time I didn't even know it was him) and then today I found some recordings on the internet. The way he reads seems weird to me, but for some reason I like it  :cool2:

Oh yeah, if anyone else wants to listen: http://town.hall.org/radio/HarperAudio/011894_harp_ITH.html

i've a hardback copy of his complete poetic works.  it cost me about $130.  but then i read the whole thing and realised that i wasn't as big a fan of his as i thought i was.

I'm not a huge fan of his poetry as well...but his prose is really well written, and insightful - essays about the poetic process and other "important" topics.
