W.B. Yeats: Selected Poems offers some of the most loved and profound pieces from the Irish literary giant. This audiobook edition is beautifully brought to life by Adrian Kelly.

Known for his romantic and lyrical style of poetry, Yeats’s work was often inspired by Irish myths, spiritualism, love, longing and loss. His later work became more modernist in style, challenging poetic conventions and shifting to a political focus.

William Butler Yeats (1865 – 1939) was an Irish poet and playwright, renowned for winning the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1923.
