Select Poems

An essential collection of classic poems by the father of modernist poetry.

In the masterly cadence of T. S. Eliot's verse, the twentieth century found its definitive poetic voice, an incredible "image of its accelerated grimace," in the words of Eliot's friend and mentor Ezra Pound. This twenty-four-poem volume is a rich collection of Eliot's greatest works—including the classic "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock"—all of which unveil the desires, grievances, failures, and heart of modern humanity.

This collection includes "Gerontion," "Burbank with a Baedeker: Bleistein with a Cigar," "Sweeney Erect," "A Cooking Egg," "Le Directeur," "Mélange Adultère de Tout," "Lune de Miel," "The Hippopotamus," "Dans le Restaurant," "Whispers of Immortality," "Mr. Eliot's Sunday Morning Service," "Sweeney Among the Nightingales," "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock," "Portrait of a Lady," "Preludes," "Rhapsody on a Windy Night," "Morning at the Window," "The Boston Evening Transcript," "Aunt Helen," "Cousin Nancy," "Mr. Apollinax," "Hysteria," "Conversation Galante," and "La Figlia Che Piange."
