Thank for this unspoiled recording of part 1 of the 5 part poem. present readings and reflections on each others poems as a catalyst for dialogue, healing, connection and community. Genre Poetry by individual poets Comment by Dennis Couzin Each poem describes a meditation which leads to a reconciliation with the burden of the past. The Four Quartets express the poet’s whole-hearted acceptance of the Christian faith. Eliot felt that the modern WesternĬity had become a sterile desert waste land, and in it life had become a sham pretence, with no content but stale conventionality. The Waste Land caught the imagination of the age with its powerful emotional impact. Eliot clearly and evenly characterises and reveals the voices of some of his most important works in this excellent reading.

It is always something of a revelation to listen to a poet reading his own words, and these recordings are no exception. Historic recordings of the cream of Eliot’s poetry. The most famous, beautiful and spiritually moving poems of the twentieth-century, read by the most famous poet.
