Alfred Prufrock," I have wanted to do something similar with Eliot's most famous and celebrated poem, "The Waste Land." But besides being extremely complex and often difficult to interpret,"The Waste Land" (First published 1922) is very long, and this always deterred me from getting started. It was only recently that it occurred to me that I could begin to tackle the project by breaking it down into smaller, more manageable units. Near the end of last year I resolved to adapt, for the time being, only the first section of the five sections into which the poem is subdivided, "The Burial of the Dead." Today I am posting the first page from this work in progress. Every week for the next sixteen weeks, I am hoping to continue to publish a new page from the planned 16-page comic. Next week: Summer surprises us! | | | |  | You can also reply to this email to leave a comment. | | | | |
