4.0 out of 5 stars
a poet in his prose,
By Al Kihano (Iskandria) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Letters Of T.S. Eliot: Vol. 1, 1898-1922 (Letters of T. S. Eliot, 1898-1922) (Paperback)
No biography of Eliot could better capture the thoughts and personality of the young poet than these letters. Eliot had a lively correspondence with so many, including family, friends, editors, and partners in verse. Even the short letters -- like the ones in which Eliot simply announces to his correspondent that he's exhausted and doesn't want to write anything -- give a glimpse of how Old Possum acted.Eliot's poetry is so cerebral and allusive that when reading it, one can feel at his mercy. In his letters he is far less in control, and the contrast is fascinating. |
