Reading Eliot is partly about nostalgia for me, as he is the first poet who really "meant something" to me as an adolescent, thus dragging poetry out of the realm of the obscure and dusty ivory tower, and into the realm of the living, moving and evocative. Of course now I realize that the level on which I read most of these poems (visceral, emotional), was barely scratching the surface of the author's craftsmanship or intent. Perhaps these were meant to be unlocked only by the academic, but I am of the school of thought that the author's intention is secondary to the primary effect of the text as an independent object. So if I as a teenager was able to attatch personal significance to "Prufrock" notwithstanding my total lack of background, that is a valid and important experience.
I bought this book this time around for a close friend, hoping he could experience some of the musical dizziness of words and recognition of the cyclical darkness and illumination which I felt as a first time reader.

To judge from the amount of space devoted to Eliot in the latest collections of C20 American Poetry, Eliot doesn't seem to be popular any more. I guess he's regarded as too highbrow and too Catholic. Anyone who tends to believe this must read "Prufrock" and enjoy its vigour, its irony and its sheer cleverness. I always loved the tremendous amount of aggression in those early Eliot poems, very often directed at the speaker himself. Once you've come to like the young Mr Eliot, you might give the later stuff a try as well. Far from being "junk", the Quartets do not just have a fascinating musical structure, but also embody a view of life, history and religion which is not so daft after all...

Certainly this is a valuable and nicely done volume of Eliot's work. But the Centenary Edition of his collected poetry does not contain many of the pieces claimed in the Reilly review. It certainly does not include any of Eliot's plays--as should be expected in a publication titled "Collected Poems." Nor does it include, in entirety or in selection, anything from "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats." I wish I had a copy of the book Kerry Reilly read: it is a volume vastly superior in content to the Collected Poems 1909-1962 published by Harcourt Brace Jovanovich (cover showing). Perhaps Reilly has mistakenly reviewed Complete Poems and Plays 1909-1950 instead of Collected Poems 1909-1962. This is an excellent collection, but it bears little similarity to Kerry Flannery Reilly's version of it. Buyer beware.
