Originally broadcast on BBC Radio 4, Jeremy Irons's perceptive reading illuminates the poetry of T. S. Eliot in all its complexity. Major poems range from 'The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock', through the post-war desolation of 'The Waste Land' and the spiritual struggle of 'Ash-Wednesday', to the enduring charm of 'Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats'.The Spectator praised Jeremy Irons's interpretation as 'so accessible, reading Eliot as if finding his words for the first time, grappling with them, relishing them, using them to express feelings that we all share as we struggle to accept, to recognise or relinquish'. Dame Eileen Atkins also appears alongside Jeremy Irons in the reading of 'The Waste Land'.… (meer)

I enjoyed most of the poems.

The cats part was the best.

The naming of cats is a difficult matter,
It isn’t just one of your holiday games;
You may think at first I’m as mad as a hatter,
But I tell you, a Cat must have THREE DIFFERENT NAMES.


This part was hilarious.

But above and beyond, there’s still one name left over,
And that is the name that you never will guess;
The name that no human research can discover—
But BUT BUT
BUT the Cat himself knows, and will never confess.

What a great collection! Irons is a pro who absolutely brings it in this narration, and the collection is powerful. What a powerful decision to close with the 4 Quartets and THEN the Cats poems. Having a home stretch with Skimbleshanks really rounded out my experience. But the reading of Little Giddy was by far the peak, Irons deserves a grammy for that reading alone. It's an incredible work that I can't believe I hadn't seen before.

About as good as a poetry audiobook can get, and probably better than either of the other Eliot books I've read (one physical and one audio). ( )
