Ah, so you haven't read "Old Possum's Book of Practical Cats" It's more lighthearted (and yes, more "rhyme-y") than some of Eliot's other works, but humorous and enjoyable nonetheless. Very quick read. As much about human psychology as it is about cats.

I've enjoyed some of Waste Land, just bits and pieces here and there, couldn't make it all the way through. He's pretty amazing. Will do.

A few years ago I woulda said D H Lawrence. In another time I woulda said Charles Bukowski. But today, here and now... I dunno. Mary Oliver. Han Shan. Ryokan. Li Po. William Blake. Difficult to choose just one.

You were the one who introduced me to Han Shan and Li Po

His bio is actually very interesting. He's also created some very unique art; it's actually been compiled into a book, and is now sitting in my Amazon wish list waiting for me to not be fcking broke.
