As an avid reader of poetry, I was thrilled to dive into 'Collected Poems 1909-1962' from Faber Poetry. This anthology is a masterpiece, encapsulating the profound and diverse works of some of the most influential poets of the twentieth century. Each poem is a journey through complex emotions and thought-provoking themes, reflecting the tumultuous era it represents. The quality of the publication is commendable, with a sturdy cover and fine paper that makes it a lasting addition to my library. For anyone seeking a deep and meaningful exploration of modern poetry, this collection is a must-have.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Edition
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2018

The dust cover is decent, the hardcover seems strong, and the book contains a great many of Eliot's poems. There is wide room in the margins for the many notes you will need to write to remind yourself what that bit of French means or what play he's referencing now.

I always think it's silly to review such famous authors on Amazon. Love him or hate him, T.S. Eliot is one of the most influential authors of the 20th century. How could a random Amazon customer have anything new to say about one of the most studied authors in modern history?

4.0 out of 5 stars once and always a favorite
Reviewed in the United States on October 24, 2015

Despite many moves, this has always managed to keep a place on my book shelf. Once you work your way through the classics, they become imprinted in your memories as a part of who you once were and now are. You may not always read them, but you always need them. Other books will come and go, but always is T.S. Eliot. Usual suspects are all here, working from "Love Song" up. Re-reading them as you grow older brings different meanings. Every phase has its own tinge of sorrow and joy. My view now of the ladies talking of Michelangelo has changed from a once distant view to a more familiar hue. Every now and then, it occurs to one to ask "Do I disturb the universe?" Maybe one day you finally will. Buy this not because it is on a required reading list. (Even we can learn from required lists). Rather, buy it to remember when you read poetry for the sake of finding emotion when you had more than enough to share. Make it part of your day, poetry. Everyone has to start somewhere, start here.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Love Song of J
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2015
Verified Purchase
T.S, Eliot's poems never grow old for me. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock invites you to go out as the evening spreads out against the sky, and compares it to a patient etherised on a table. It takes you through the half deserted streets and delights the senses with the smell of food cooking, the pattering sounds of rain falling, the brightness of the street lamps. I could go and on, but I invite the reader to read this for his or her self and find their own enjoyment in it. And then there's Apeneck Sweeney as he spreads his knees, letting his arms hang down to laugh...in the poem Sweeney among the nightingales. The poem Waste Land. And the Journey of the Magi with camels galled. sore footed, refractory....
If you love twentieth century poems, you'll love this collection from one the masters of that era.

I'm so happy with this purchase. This was part of a birthday gift for my girlfriend as this is one of her favorites. I can't wait to give it to her. No flaws, good printing, everything in order. At a normal store this book is near 30 dollars so this price is a steal.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kindle edition seems OK so far
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 28, 2021
Verified Purchase
I haven't read the book in full, but no problems yet. The contents page works, search works. If people find it "full of errors" I wonder how familiar they are with Eliot's work. in 1967, as a sixth former and would-be intellectual, I bought a Faber "Selected Poems" and it seemed full of misspellings and other errors. I set about manually "correcting" these, before realising that they are intended. Eliot uses quotations and obscure references from a wide range of sources. Eg in "A Cooking Egg" there's the line "Pipit sate upright in her chair". The "sate" is intended.

The only issue is that in the Library, the title is displayed as "Collected Poems 1909-1962 (Faber Paper Co...", ie it doesn't mention Eliot's name. If you choose to sort by author, it appears in your library not under "E" for Eliot but under "C".

Lo que tiene que ser: una edición sencilla pero cuidada que permite que los poemas hablen por sí mismos, sin que nada más distraiga de su fuerza y belleza inconmensurables. Un libro que puede acompañar toda la vida sin dejar de hablarnos ni quedarse anticuado jamás. Creo que eso es lo que llamamos un clásico.

5.0 out of 5 stars The book , Dear the future
Reviewed in Japan on August 8, 2011
Verified Purchase
There would be no mistake to state that this book is a sort of autobiography of T.S Eliot.
The poems in chronological order, we can feel about the author's life and circumstances in each generation.

The earlier part of the poems, I can deduce the large capacity of poet's faculty of vocabularies ,languages and classic literature,
he might have had also quite a deep knowledge of biology. Incredible result of epistemology , I think.

T.S Eliot, his manipulation for people, places, time, if we are absorbed into it, we will be sensing existence, life .....,
getting on the time-machine- like vehicle and you witness the moment the gramophone being played by her.
You may feel the particles surrounds her, and see the light from the window, somewhat haunting , but pristine and simple.
Then, you think, when ? In the next line , the readers are to be in ancient Geek,for example .

'' This is the way '', which I enjoy Eliot's those poems. I would like to know, how many ''times '' does he has in his literature?

From the middle to the latter part of this book, his style has been often changed a bit.
There is some sort of severity in his theme, the severity of life.
Although I have to express so , this is sometimes a reality for human life and history.
People's daily lives in the generation, it consists of repetition and work,
It has been culminating in our days now. What is human? ... considering the force behind it and God .

This book has no introduction, after ''The Waste Land'' , there are notes on the poem by T.S Eliot himself.

Death is also an important theme throughout his poems as an opposite force of existence.

'' The beginning and the end '' , the relationship which he says is very impressive.

Please savour this book many times !
