kugisakis 's review for:

The Poetry of W. B. Yeats by W.B. Yeats

---

not the usual type of poetry i'd pick up. folktales & legends are nottttt really my jam but nonetheless these are still some pretty neat sometimes very fantastical collection of poems. lol i have no idea who yeats is referring to half the time here but these poems, which read almost like epic little stories really, still managed to be quite interesting. some great storytelling with some of them too hello? not too much of a review here, so i'll just dump my favorite poems:

-ephemera
-the lake isle of innisfree
-when you are old
- the lamentation of the old pensioner
- he bids his beloved be at peace
- he tells of the perfect beauty
- he tells a valley full of lovers
- he wishes for the cloths of heaven (so many he's! goddamn!)
- adam's curse
- o do not love too long
- reconciliation
- brown penny
- to a child dancing in the wind
- a memory of youth
