It also made think more about things I can reuse or try to repair and it made me glad I started composting this last year. Food scraps anyway..... there's a guy in the book who composts his and his wife's shit. I ain't going that far. Somehow, I don't think I missed the point of the poem though, by misquoting, by disagreeing with the statement, and by not getting it at all. I think The Waste Land means just that: human confusion on all levels expressed in poetic language. Published in 1922, the 434-line poem first appeared in the United Kingdom in the October issue of Eliot's The Criterion and in the United States in the November issue of The Dial. It was published in book form in December 1922. When I was a kid, there was a garbage dump in the fields behind our house. I'm not sure who all dumped their garbage there but it was great fun to dig among the rubbish in search of treasures. Drew, Elizabeth (1949). T. S. Eliot: The Design of His Poetry.

But added to the usual wartime disruptions, I think, WWI was the first war which had massive long-distance killing, not the more honorable warrior to warrior battle. Fighting sword to sword probably feels different emotionally than being killed by invisible shrapnel or powerful percussions that come out of nowhere without pause, from hearing the sound for hours of constant shelling, or dying from a gas which suffocates you invisibly. I can only imagine it. The Waste Land Scripted for 44 Voices by Hedwig Gorski, CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform (2015) ISBN 978-1512232172The structure of the poem is also meant to loosely follow the vegetation myth and Holy Grail folklore surrounding the Fisher King story as outlined by Jessie Weston in her book From Ritual to Romance (1920). Weston's book was so central to the structure of the poem that it was the first text that Eliot cited in his "Notes on the Waste Land".

The drafts of the poem reveal that it originally contained almost twice as much material as the final published version. The significant cuts are in part due to Ezra Pound's suggested changes, although Eliot himself also removed large sections.Interplay's 10 Year Anthology for DOS (1993)". Moby Games.

The author talks some about the people he meets in the garbage business, but thankfully that didn't ruin the book for me. There were enough non-people facts that it's still getting 5 stars. I think wars before WWI used to have long pauses in the conduct of war, which was no longer possible in WWI due to the advances of war mechanization. Adding to the psychological turmoil, for a soldier surviving ongoing warfare it means you get sent to the front on multiple tours. In addition, the aftermath of every war fought close to home is a huge upheaval because of the resulting shortage of young men, a spread of disease vectors, transfers of and new concentrations of wealth, and disrupted markets.Just as everything we consume comes from somewhere on earth, so too everything we produce must go somewhere on earth – even if we don't want to think about it. This book compels us to. A fascinating, deeply researched and hugely important exposé of what happens to the stuff we no longer want, and the social and environmental cost of dealing with it.

Wastelands shows how industrial food operations work and how they fight to avoid change. But things need to change. This is our food, and our planet. Industrial-scale pork, at least as currently practiced, is neither sustainable nor moral. I'm trying to write a term paper on this poem (key word is "trying") and then I realized, hey, I should waste some time by writing a review of the poem on Goodreads! So here we are. I feel now I have a greater sense of understanding of how powerful the agricultural lobby is in this country. In the world of carbon emissions reductions strategies, we often talk about transportation or electricity sectors as having the greatest impact and reductions potential. These are important areas, but we overlook how impactful the agricultural industry is. As Frances Moore Lappé wrote about in her trailblazing work, the CAFOs producing pork in such mass volume and the industrialized croplands of the Midwest produce a far greater volume of food than we would need to feed the world. Yet the message of scarcity and necessity associated with the ill environmental and human impacts of these processes is widely disseminated, as Addison mentioned countless times throughout this book. Not only is the message of Smithfield morally abhorrent but factually dubious when we look at the bigger picture of food supply and distribution. Gallup, Donald (1969). T. S.

Little lesbian in the making that I was, I was enrapt. It probably was nothing sexual at that age but I still remember the thrill of seeing all those naked women.
