I haven't been impressed by what I've read of him.

Yes. My favorite poet. But you like what you like, and au contraire. No way to establish an objective answer to the question posed.
For technicality, originality, philosophy, and imagery, he was remarkably talented.

I'm not into poetry that much but I always enjoyed T.S. Eliot especially Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats (yes, I'm a big cat lover). (I even stayed at the Russell Hotel when I was in London decades ago)

I haven't been impressed by what I've read of him. Eliot is one of the greatest poets of the 20th Century, certainly one of the greatest of the Modernists. You cannot hope to understand Modernist poetry without a thorough understanding of Eliot. He's challenging and revolutionary in ways that you will never understand, and I'm sure he's beyond your abilities. However, here's a little exercise I give to my uni students. In what way is the title The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock ironic and revolutionary? |
