The Poems of W.B. Yeats from Easton Press Collectors Editions has been selected, edited and introduced by William York Tindall and is finely illustrated by Robin Jaques. The frontispiece of Yeats was specially commissioned. There is also a publisher's preface. Of the great English poets, Dylan Thomas, T.S. Eliot, Wallace Stevens and others, Yeats has been considered the greatest. His portfolio of great poems is unmatched. Born in Dublin in 1865, he nonetheless was considered an Anglo-Irishman or one not truly accepted in England and Ireland alike. But in modern times, he is considered one of the greats with little nod to his "Anglo-Irishman" view of his times. This edition contains poems in the following chapters: Crossways 1899, Wanderings of Oisin 1889, The Rose 1893, Wind Among the Reeds 1899, and Later Poems 1902-1938.
