About this audiobook
The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock, commonly known as "Prufrock", is the first professionally published poem by American-born, British poet T. S. Eliot (1888–1965). Eliot began writing "Prufrock" in February 1910, and it was first published in the June 1915 issue of Poetry: A Magazine of Verse at the instigation of Ezra Pound (1885–1972). It was later printed as part of a twelve-poem pamphlet (or chapbook) titled Prufrock and Other Observations in 1917. At the time of its publication, Prufrock was considered outlandish,[3] but is now seen as heralding a paradigmatic cultural shift from late 19th-century Romantic verse and Georgian lyrics to Modernism.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Do I dare to eat a peach?
I should have been a pair of ragged claws scuttling along the floors of ancient seas
That’s not what I meant at all
Til human voices wake us
And we drown
