I consistently mixed up T.S. Eliot and Ezra Pound. I obviously need to look up both of them. Didn't one of them write the book Cats is based on...?
Good lord, yes, girl! Eliot penned Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats, largely as fun little gifts for friends. They're fabulously witty and the rhymes he pulls off are pretty stunning. But if you want the really good stuff, you want "The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock," "The Hollow Men," or "The Waste Land." Good, good stuff.
