Product Details
Series: Faber paperbacks
Paperback: 160 pages
Publisher: T. S. Eliot; 2nd edition (June 7, 1987)
Most of us are afraid of poems because as we read it, we can't seem to make head or tails as to what we have read. Therefore, for those of us who have "poem-phobia," I recommend this delightful little work. In this work, Eliot ask the question of what is poetry and the use of criticism in poetry as well as the relationship between the former and the latter. Eliot proposes to start the enquiry by reviewing the history of criticism starting from Elizabethan era untill that of his time. Through the course of the exploration, I was enthralled by Eliot's insightful opinion of critics and their opinion as to what is poetry and its uses. I was particularly drawn to the final chapter of his work which does not offer any final word to the questions which he posed but rather giving us advice as to how to read poems (in particular the modern poets, i.e., 20th century). I was very glad to have read this work because it sure beats reading a heavy college text on how to read poetry.

When very young, being the first child, I have to admit I was selfish. On entering those first years of school my blocks were off limits, a play on words yes. Later in my creative endeavors blocks were a part of life, same as the seasons, really. Few had patience for my blocks, I told the wife it was snowing, call the office, I'm staying in bed a few days as I must think some about spring and sparrows!We are no longer together, she never understood, rest!Blocks being a part of Nature, snow melts into spring flowerings, garSister Carrie (Oxford World's Classics)dens of strawberries and step-up graduations from colleges, new beginnings. Elsie remarried a bookmaker!
