This book gives insight into the poet from his own point of view, sharing with the reader an intimate portrait of his life that might not be available through the biographies written by other people who were not as privy to Yeats' personal writings. This book is a must for fans of Yeats who have always wondered what events in his life influenced particular works that have inspired generations of readers. (read more)
