The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot

The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock by T.S. Eliot

Description

I love poetry (as I mentioned in my podcast on Portals) because a poem can transport us to the boundless realm of imagination... It almost doesn't matter what the words say; what matters is how they make you feel, where they takes your thoughts, what the poem makes you want to do once you set it down.

 

Often I fall into the trap of thinking that I'm not creative or original, especially when I come across a work of genius like this. But to take my own advice, the best thing we can do is APPRECIATE a work of art, and not condemn ourselves for not being capable of replicating its brilliance... at least, not yet.

 

This episode is the first of many recitations - some from memory, some read from the page - that will highlight my favorite poems and oratory works, and may include some of my subjective reactions to the poem's meaning.

 

I hope you enjoy this rendition of Who's to Say? Please share with other poetry enthusiasts.
