Summary: A marvellous compendium and overview
Comment: I first fell in love with Yeats poetry (specifically "The Song Of Wandering Aengus" before discovering the rest of his poetry) then discovered his plays and prose. I was particularly taken with his version of some classis Irish fairy tales.
This volume, with over a hundred of his poems, eight plays, around a dozen excerpts of autobiographical writing, a similar number of critical writings and half a dozen pieces of prose, covers a marvellous gamut of this mans work in around 600 pages. It is a good size to carry around with you.
The choices taken are good, all my favourite poems and plays are here, my only regret is that none of his fairy tales are here.
I would recommend this volume to anyone who enjoys Yeats poetry and/or plays and wants a good selection of his work in many fields. It is also the perfect introduction to his work for someone you know who might enjoy this marvellous poet.

Summary: A Complete Look at Yeats
Comment: Seeing his grave this summer was something that stunned my spirit as much as any experience in my life. As a life-long reader of Yeats, I have many of his poems on my shelf. When I want to read as I walk and have a wide selection, this is the book I choose. I'm purchasing this for a dear friend.
