Richard J. Finneran's Collected Poems of W.B. Yeats is the definitive collection of the Irish poet's complete works, spanning his evolution from romantic lyricism to modernist complexity. Through poems exploring Irish mythology, politics, love, and aging, Yeats created a body of work that defined 20th-century poetry. This revised edition becomes both essential reference and invitation to experience one of literature's greatest poets in full.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Yeats proved that poetry can be both beautiful and political, mystical and grounded. This complete collection reminds us that the greatest poets grow and change across their careers, and that Irish literature gave the world one of its finest voices.
