tseimage   Eliot’s Poetry

Collected Poems, 1909-1962 by T. S. Eliot List Price$23.00 Hardcover (December 1963) Harcourt Brace; ISBN0151189781 ; This is the definitive edition of Eliot’s poetry.  Buy this if you want everything. 

Much of the early poetry up to and including The Waste Land is now out of copyright in the US and is available on-line.  You can get almost everything we are reading in class by buying the two tiny Harcourt volumes: Selected Poems and Four Quartets, or the new Dover Thrift Edition. 

If you want to read Eliot's previously unpublished (and shockingly obscene)  juvenilia, you'll need to buy Inventions of the March Hare,. If you are really hot on The Waste Land, you may want to buy the Facsimile Edition.
