This book should be in print! If you can't find it, borrow it. If you want to know about poetry, Ireland, the occult, or Yeats himself, this is the book you need. Not for sustained argument, or surgical analysis; but for the breath and cadence of reminiscence, deep-drawn thought, agonizing self-criticism and a well of images that seep into his poems. Sometimes the pleasure of a phrase obscures accuracy, as he himself admits; but if you can write like this it doesn't matter. Includes the three pivotal essays of the three parts of his life: 'Symbolism and Poetry', 'J.M.Synge and the Ireland of his Time' and 'A General Introduction for my Work' written as preface to a deluxe collected edition of his work that never appeared. Not for the casual browser maybe but rich and deeply rewarding.
