Description
This book, the second of Yeats's poetry collections, includes the first publication in book form of "The Lake Isle of Innisfree." In it he explores the struggles and quests of Celtic mythology as well as of contemporary human emotions. The implicit political undertone to much of the work signaled Yeats's increased engagement in the debates among the Irish literary circles of the day.
