Poems

T.S. Eliot, whose full name is Thomas Stearns Eliot, was an American-English poet, playwright, literary critic, and editor who pioneered the Modernist poetry movement with his works The Waste Land (1922) and Four Quartets (1943). He was born on September 26, 1888, in St. Louis, Missouri, and died on January 4, 1965, in London, England. From the 1920s onward, Eliot had a significant impact on the development of the Anglo-American cultural sphere. Through a succession of critical articles and innovative uses of language and form, he destroyed established norms and established new ones, reviving English poetry in the process.
