5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Introduction to Yeats, July 21, 2001
By 
This review is from: Early Poems (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
As a student, who is hard on cash, I found that this collection of poems by the great Irish author and poet W.B. Yeats was definitely an excellent collection to buy and read. This collection encompasses all of the collections written by the young poet during his early period. Particularly notable are "The Shepherd to His Beloved", "The Lake Isle of Innisfree" and other poems that have become immortal over the years. There are also poems that deal with Irish myths and legends and several poems written as dialogues or plays. This is an excellent collection that will introduce you to the worldd of Yeats if you haven't yet been introduced and further your understanding of this Irish genius.

5.0 out of 5 stars The early and great Yeats, May 3, 2005
This review is from: Early Poems (Dover Thrift Editions) (Paperback)
This work contains the poems written by Yeats from 1889 to 1914. It includes some of the classic poems of twentieth century Literature, "No Second Troy", "The Song of the Wandering Aengus"
" The Lake Isle of Inisfree" " When you are old" and many others.
Yeats is a poetry who draws on Irish folklore and myth but his great power is in the music of his language, and his lyric celebration of life.
Enjoy.
