Rec'd on 🎠 Poems u have memorized?
the lovesong of j alfred prufrock
first poem i loved and kept with me as a ripe 7th grader. read over and over to the point where it plays in my head, little things will remind me of it - foggy nights in the city or the ocean in winter or pondering my own mortality - and lines come flowing back
others stuck in my noggin include style by charles bukowski and the sunflower sutra by allen ginsberg. at this point i can probably recite a good number of billy collins works bc ive listened to the recorded album "the best cigarette" approximately 500 times

THE LOVE SONG OF J. ALFRED PRUFROCK
“do i dare disturb the universe?“
- t.s. eliott, “the love song of j. alfred prufrock”
this is my favorite poem ever. i read this in a.p. lit senior year of high school and it changed me. it’s followed me throughout the years and i always think of this line.

ANYTHING by whitman but ESPECIALLY song of myself (long but worth it, the final part is so good), crossing brooklyn ferry, hours continuing long, and the untold want. oh and also the love song of j alfred prufrock by by t.s. eliot is NOT overrated and is in fact THAT GOOD

Memorizing favorite poems
i recommend it. i find it comforting to recite a poem i really like! i have “having a coke with you“ by frank o’hara memorized and it’s satisfying to hear its sonorous curves.
