Poems

Poetry is a window to the soul of the writer.

In this collection of the poems of W. B. Yeats, the reader gets an insight into how Yeats' personality, priorities and style evolved throughout his life. And it's an incredibly fascinating journey.

In this collection of 40 of his works, he writes about Irish legends and the occult, including the beautiful, haunting 'When You are Old' and 'The Lake Isle of Innisfree'. Later poems are less lyrical and more political and realistic, including 'Parnell's Funeral'.

This collection of perfect poems is great for fans of Lord Byron and Percy Bysshe Shelley.

William Butler Yeats (1865-1939) was an Irish poet, dramatist and writer.

A driving force behind the Irish Literary Revival, he also served two terms as a Senator of the Irish Free State. Fellow poet W. H. Auden credited Yeats with having written "some of the most beautiful poetry" of modern times. Many of his early poems featured Irish legends and the occult, while his later verse was more politicised and realistic.

He was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
