Selected Poems

T. S. Eliot wrote plays, novels and some of the most foundational literary criticisms of the twentieth century, such as New Criticism. Yet, he is best remembered by his poetry. The poems in this selection capture the full arc of Eliot’s poetic vision – from the paralysis and self-doubt of Prufrock, to the spiritual collapse across The Waste Land and The Hollow Men, to the profound mediations on faith and redemption in Four Quartets.
