A few months ago, the American magazine Plough Quarterly commissioned me to create a comics adaptation of the celebrated final section of T. S. Eliot’s poem “Little Gidding”, the last of his Four Quartets. The comic is now up on their website: http://www.plough.com/en/topics/culture/poetry/little-gidding and will appear in the next print issue, which will be available in a couple of weeks.

Your illustrations of the poem are indeed striking. I love the feel you have for illustrating poetry.
Thanks for the link.

I am very excited to see this. Ever since you did Prufrock, I was hoping you might take on something from the Four Quartets. Unfortunately, the link doesn’t seem to be working for me.

Does Prufrock in its entirety exist in a published or downloadable form? I am eager to purchase copies and keep asking and waiting with some degree of patience for a reply.

Hi Claire, still no print copy, unfortunately, but I could send you a PDF or prints if you’re interested.

Beautiful work, Julian. If you ever have the chance to depict Burnt Norton with your art, I will look forward to it immensely. 🙂

Thanks! I did actually illustrate a portion of “Burnt Norton” a little over a year ago: https://julianpeterscomics.com/2015/10/01/burnt-norton-by-t-s-eliot-in-the-four-quarters-magazine/ And an extract from “East Coker” is on its way!

I love how it all tied back to the rose and the children in the tree (from Burnt Norton to Little Gidding). Thanks for linking to the TFQM extract. Looking forward to East Coker and your experiments with the poetic form (Tagore, Rimbaud, anything 🙂 ) Keep us updated.

I don’t know why, but the children in the trees is what first really grabbed me about both poems. what would be maudlin and banal in the hands of most other poets seems so charged with mystery and even something ever so slightly unnerving.
