The first collection by Irish-born poet William Butler Yeats. Many decades before his mysterious and austere Modernist verse earned him a Nobel prize, Yeats achieved renown as one of the last major poets in the High Romantic tradition. These poems showcase his Celtic imagination, his love for Irish folk-tales, and his commitment to the Romantic ideal of love. (Summary by Kasper Nijsen) (0 hr 37 min)

acceptably read


(2.5 stars)

The reader does a passable job with this early collection of Yeats's poetry. The softness of the voice is pleasant, but the accent somewhat bungles the audibility of certain words, as well as the general flow, in many of these poems. Also, the reader occasionally reads them inaccurately -- most notably, the ending of "The Stolen Child," which is a shame, seeing as this is one of Yeats's best poems and deserves a correct recitation.
