An in-depth analysis of TS Eliot's iconic poem The Waste Land, starting with part 1: The Burial Of The Dead. A poem that encapsulated the feel an entire culture in the wake of the first world war; waking up to an existence that suddenly felt meaningless, and having to grapple in search of truth that felt redundant in the face of horror. The expansive poetry captured both this cultural struggle and, eventually, offered meaning through Eliot's own resolution.

My Little Thought Tree is my channel for drawing out the deeper meaning and emotion in film, TV, and the world at large through relaxed, analytical video essays. I am a professional counsellor and often draw on my psychology and therapy background to better understand characters, themes, and emotion in fiction. I upload every Saturday and occasionally on Tuesdays, if I'm feeling productive.
