2nd post on "How to read " The Waste Land" so it alters your soul

This article helped me understand bits and pieces of the poems in The Waste Land, and I agree with the fact that this is a poem, and for a poem it is a good piece. You have to keep in mind the time era it was written and that explains alot for me. It also reminds me of Shakespere, I guess because it speaks like a play from the shakespere era. In all my readings that I did on this piece, I found that the title "The Wate Land" is basically what the poem is about, "Waste" in T.S. Elliot, The Waste Land on the bottom of page 288 it says, "The Waste Land thus bespeaks a simultaneous fascination with, and revulsion from, waste". or "The process of waste-production is knitted into its cultural moment:it cannot(and pound cannot) "edit out" all the waste, because it is waste material; both the abject and a valuable surplus which enables culture to continue, creating its own moment as it orders its abjection. There can be no production without waste." When reading this information from Tim Armstrong I could relate to the poem more and understand that with many poems that a lot of the words in a poem come from the poets head and we do not always no whats in a poets head so the poems can seem a bit strange. So doing some research on this helped me understand some of the meaning in it. A bunch of waste put together in a poem!
