William Butler Yeats-Selected Poems includes all of the poems authorized by Yeats for inclusion in his standard canon. Breath-taking in range, it encompasses the entire arc of his career, from luminous reworking of ancient Irish myths and legends to passionate meditations on the demands and rewards of youth and old age, from exquisite, occasionally whimsical songs of love, nature, and art to sombre and angry poems of life in a nation torn by war and uprising. William Butler Yeats-Selected Poems is the most comprehensive edition of one of the world's most beloved poets available in paperback.
