Poems

The poems that transformed modern literature. One voice. Endless echoes.

Poems by T. S. Eliot presents the landmark 1920 collection that established Eliot as a defining voice of literary modernism. Gathering early and transitional works such as “Gerontion,” “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,” “Portrait of a Lady,” “Preludes,” “Rhapsody on a Windy Night,” and the Sweeney poems, as well as sharp satires including “The Hippopotamus” and “Mr. Eliot’s Sunday Morning Service,” this edition traces the emergence of Eliot’s radical new sensibility. Moving through smoky streets, cafés, drawing rooms, and worn urban interiors, these poems confront alienation, desire, memory, mortality, social performance, and the search for meaning in the modern world. Rich with literary, religious, philosophical, and multilingual allusion, Eliot’s verse is at once intimate, ironic, musical, and unsettling—a foundational collection for readers of twentieth-century poetry.
