today here at MS, we had the pleasure to sit down with poet T.S Eliot , best known for his poem "the love song of J.Alfred Prufrock". Although our interview was brief , we did enjoy Mr.Eliot he was very excited to sit down and talk about his life and where he started.
MS: good afternoon , mr.eliot . how are you today ?
Eliot: hello, please call me tom. and im doing quite well , thank you for asking.
MS:that is very well. lets get started , where were you born ?
Eliot: I was born in St.Louis , Missouri , iam the last of six children born into the union of my parents.
MS:how did you get started in poetry or literature for that matter ?
Eliot:I began writing at the age of fourteen after reading Edward Fitzgerald's "Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam" , the poetry i wrote back then relfelcted the tone of that particular peice of writing , i eventually got rid of them. My first true start was at Harvard where i got some of my earlier works published in the school magazine , The Advocate.
MS:that must have been very exhilarating to have that happen to you , how did you feel seeing your work on print for the first time of many ?
Eliot:I felt accomplished to say the least , i try to humble myself and be as modest as possible , i do recongize my talents although. I think it was a door opening for my career , both publicly and personally.
MS:very well , thank you for stopping by today to let us know about your life and the inspirations around you for we are inspired by you , mr.eliot.
Eliot:thank you , and have a goodday.
there you have it , every week we will try and bring a author in to interview on our site and try to keep things fresh. thank you for viewing ,
-the MS team.
