Looking
for something fine to read to yourself or out loud that you can
carry anywhere, are you? Try The Waste Land and Other Poems,
selected and with an introduction by Helen Vendler, noted author
of The Art Of Shakespeare’s Sonnets, and frequent
contributor to The New Yorker, The New York Review Of
Books, and The New Republic. This Signet Classic costs
only $3.95 and can fit inside a coat pocket or a purse and includes,
in addition to “The Waste Land,” such poems as “Ash -Wednesday”,
“Journey Of The Magi”, and “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock,”
among others. In addition, Vendler’s annotations are most helpful
in understanding the many words and ideas of the poems, especially
“The Waste Land,” that might not be so familiar to 21st century
readers, but were to English readers of the early 20th century.
As for the poems, they are memorable and worth rereading several
times. Copies of this book are readily available at Logos.
Also available at Logos are many other fine books including biographies,
histories, mysteries classics, fiction, poetry, philosophy, Judaica,
