That Im sure of. . . . In its sources, in its emotional springs, it comes from America. In T. S. Eliot: The Making of an American Poet, James Miller offers the first sustained account of Eliots early years, showing that the emotional springs of his poetry did indeed come from America.

Miller recounts Eliots early years in St. Louis schools and follows him in the summers as he vacationed with his family in their Gloucester, Massachusetts, home perched on the Atlantic Oceans edge.
