Collected Poems by T S Eliot
This book, which was released two years prior to Eliot’s passing in 1965, is the most reliable collection of the poems he himself intended to preserve.
T. S. Eliot, a poet, playwright, critic, and editor, was one of the key characters in twentieth-century poetry. The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, Four Quartets, The Waste Land, and a number of other poems are included in this collection of poems, Collected Poems 1909–1962.

There are poems that are regarded as surrealist, such as “The Hollow Men,” which states, “This is the way the world ends: not with a bang, but a whimper.” Many of his poems have been widely accepted. Being a city dweller, I really enjoy the ambience of the city, particularly London, and the descriptions of the fog I have fond memories of.
This has always maintained a spot on my bookshelf through multiple moves. The classics get ingrained in your recollections as a part of who you were and are today as you progress through them. Even if you don’t always read them, you still need them. Other novels will come and go, but T.S. Eliot will always be there. The usual suspects are all present, starting with “Love Song.” Reading them again as you get older reveals new meanings. Every stage has a distinct undertone of joy and sadness. My perspective of the women discussing Michelangelo has shifted from a once-distant perspective to one with a more familiar colour. Do I disrupt the universe? comes to mind every now and again. Maybe one day you’ll succeed. Purchase this book even if it’s not required reading. (Even we can gain knowledge through necessary lists.) Instead, get it to recall the times when you read poetry merely for the sake of experiencing emotion when you had enough to share. Make poetry a part of your day. Everyone must begin somewhere, so do it right here.
