The Waste Land (pt. 1)- T.S. Eliot

First thing I noticed was that this poem is dedicated to Ezra Pound, who also edited it. Eliot called Pound "the best maker," taken from Dante's Inferno. Random, but it's interesting.

As for the poem itself, I found it really hard to read. I really don't know what it was about, aside from what the footnotes said. I even tried to Google it, but that did not help.

More to come on this... After class discussion of it. =D
