Being that Eliot was born in St. Louis and moved to England in his twenties (in 1914), it'd be tough to place him within the Harlem Renaissance.
He was an influential poet, but don't think he had anything to do with what was going on up in Harlem.

T.S. Eliot had little or nothing to do with the Harlem Renaissance. He was living in England at the time. He may have had an influence through his poetry on writers such as Langston Hughes or Zora Neale Hurston.

"i think we are in rats' alley, where the dead men lost their bones". My favorite quote, from "the wasteland", i believe. Pretty much sums up human existence at its present level of (un) consciousness, as led by terminal psychopaths toward probable doom.
