Under the Moon The Unpublished Early Poetry

""Early poems...are perhaps unlikely to compete with the best of his published work, but they offer intriguing insights into the poet's development and into the elements that make it up...One gets the impression that the young Yeats was less a man who waited for the muse to speak to him than an ambitious figure who saw himself as a poet and worked out ways in which he could fulfill his dream...It shows not the finished man but the man, as it were, casting around to see what elements should go to 'becoming W.B. Yeats', as the introduction puts it...The editor and his publisher are to be congratulated on the production of this volume, equipped with just the right amount of background material."Yeats, W. B. is the author of 'Under the Moon The Unpublished Early Poetry', published 1995 under ISBN 9780684802541 and ISBN 0684802546.
