Every week on this site, I will be publishing a new page from my ongoing comics adaptation of “The Burial of the Dead,” the first section of T. S. Eliot’s epochal poem “The Waste Land” (Click on image to enlarge).
The tarot designs are based on the Rider-Waite tarot deck, first published in 1909. It was illustrated by artista and occultist Pamela Colman Smith following the instructions of the poet and mystic Arthur Edward Waite.

Next week: Welcome to Unreal City!
Dear Sir I would like to get all the Graphic writings on TS Eliots work. Can you please send me the details and link if possible
Kind Regards Rathan Namtabad ratan4eng@gmail.com

As a poet myself and having experimented with music as an accompaniment and forever being inspired by paintings, your work deserves a unique definition, as the word comic doesn’t fully represent your art. I write deep stuff and would consider it an honour to be ‘comically described’ by you!

Thank you, Tony! I really appreciate that. Perhaps we should collaborate at some point. Where can your poems be read?

Hi Julian, this blog shows some of my work. https://tonyaholisticblog.com/category/poetry/ there’s a lot more i haven’t published. mail me on tonyahome@ntlworld.com and i can show you other poems. Had an accident yesterday have broken arm and can only see out of one eye, so i’m a bit limited in what i can say at present.

Thank you for sharing, Tony! From what I have had the chance to read so far, your poetry seems warmly musical and evocative
