T.S. Eliot’s Christmas Poems

"Here G. Douglas Atkins presents T.S. Eliot's six "Ariel Poems" as dramatizations of the meaning and significance of Christmas: Journey of the Magi, A Song for Simeon, Animula, Marina, Triumphal March, and The Cultivation of Christmas Trees. Commissioned to commemorate the season, these short poems, of around 40 lines each, considered together emerge as clearly related representations of the "impossible union" that occurred in the Incarnation.

The fresh, new readings demonstrate the artistic achievement of these remarkable poems"--
