The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock is T.S. Eliot’s first published poem. It appeared in Poetry: A Magazine of Verse in June 1915 and was reprinted in his first book of poems, Prufrock and Other Observations, in 1917. The poem is an interior monologue of an urban man, afflicted with feelings of isolation and inadequacy, who is unable to communicate effectively with others.Eliot drew on his own experience of social anxiety and feelings of inadequacy in the poem. He also drew on the work of the French Symbolist poet, Paul Verlaine, and the English Romantic poet, John Keats. The poem is notable for its use of the stream-of-consciousness technique, as well as its use of literary and cultural references.
