Yeats is a really interest poet to explore, primarily because his distinction (in retrospect, not at the time) from other poets is largely in subject matter rather than style. Overall, he is a typical structural modernist and most of his poems didn't really feel unique in their aesthetic or even in their "poetic flare". This was the biggest drag for me, not that Yeats isn't an exceptional poet, but just that after reading a lot of classic and contemporary poetry, there isn't much about Yeats specifically that sets him apart.

However, his subjects are compelling. The most famous Irish poet, Yeats talks extensively about Irish folklore and mythology, implements classic tales and heroes without shying away from contemporary topics. Yeats was a clearly pre-confessional poet. As much as I love confessional poetry, it's sort of a breath of fresh air to hear a certain objectivity and disconnect from him, an air of storytelling.

All in all, a good collection of good poetry. Not my favorite, but it all comes down to personal preference. (

It was difficult for me to rate this volume using one to five stars. For the most part Yeats does not speak to me. It was a chore to finish this book. It was climbing a mountain just to say I’d done it, but finding the scenery along the way excessively tedious. Of the 507 poems in this comprehensive edition, I found five that were brilliant works of poetic genius. Those are the ones found in anthologies of best or favorite poems, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”, “The Wild Swans at Coole”, “The Second Coming”, “Sailing to Byzantium”, and “Leda and the Swan.” There we also pleasant enough dramatic and narrative poems like “The Island of Statues,” “The Shadowy Waters,” and “The Wandering of Oisin” that were enjoyable to read.

For the rest, I was bored by the overabundance of occult gibberish and symbolism about towers, roses, winding stairs, and gyres, and the tedium of having them repeated over and over again. I confess my ignorance of Irish folklore and politics. But, after reading his poems on those themes and receiving neither insight or pleasure from them, it sparked little desire or curiosity in me to learn more about either subject. (

This is a beautiful collection of the poems that encompass the work of W. B. Yeats and span his entire career. Everyone will find something they enjoy in this collection. Revised and corrected, this edition includes Yeats's own notes on his poetry, complemented by explanatory notes from Yeats scholar Richard J. Finneran. The Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats is the most comprehensive edition of one of the world's most respected poets. (

The classifying of Yeats' "Collected Poems" in its various editions is not an easy job, but mainly they can be divided into three groups.

1. Collected Poems, 1933. There were earlier collected editions called simply "Poems" (1895, 1905, 1910) but this one near the end of his life was the first intended as a career collection. However, it is not complete, as Yeats lived until 1939, publishing three more volumes of poetry; in addition "Last Poems" (which he had prepared) was published shortly after his death ("the day of his death was a cold, dark day"). Nonetheless, the incomplete 1933 Collected Poems is still with us -- the Wordsworth Poetry Series editions, usually issued as "Poetical Works" but sometimes called "Works of W.B. Yeats" or just "Collected Poems" -- but all bearing the same ISBN 1853264032, do not contain the full Collected Poems through 1939 but only the contents of the 1933 volume. These have been separated into their own entry with a clarifying if somewhat clunky title.

2. Collected Poems (1940 - ). This is the 'normal' Collected Poems, containing all the volumes of Yeats' poetry through 1939. From 1940 through the early 1980s (with very minor corrections, revisions and additions) this was the standard hardback Collected Poems of Yeats, and it continues to be standard paperback edition. These are generally called just "Collected Poems of W. B. Yeats"

3. Then in 1983 was issued the inaugural volume of "The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats" -- "Volume I: The Poems". This added to the 'normal' Collected Poems text 137 pages of previously uncollected poems, from magazines, letters, embedded in prose works, etc etc. When you buy the hardback Collected Poems of Yeats now, this is what you get (as noted above the paperback edition continues tp offer the 1940-1982 text). So, this greatly expanded edition has also been separated out and is entitled The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats: Volume I, The Poems.. It can be identified by the US isbn 0684839350 (9780684839356) or the UK isbn 0333353617, or by isbn 0026329409.

Please try to place or combine your Collected Poems of Yeats with the proper edition.
