I think all great poems should exist on the internet in this way, complete with a map of all the places the poet mentioned.

One of the treats [1] of reading "The Waste Land" is that Eliot's endnotes are as intentional a part of the composition as the main verse.

Also, I've recently been recommended to read "Ash Wednesday," (can be listened to here), which I intend to do.

This is really cool!

I had also appreciated the various ways academics have built tools to deep dive Dante’s greatest work.
