Description

Published in 2017, The Tower is W. B. Yeats's first major collection of poetry as Nobel Laureate, showcasing his innovative and influential work.

At the heart of this collection is Thoor Ballylee Castle, a Norman tower that Yeats purchased in 1917 and later restored, serving as the inspiration for the title. The Tower features some of Yeats's most renowned poems, including 'Sailing to Byzantium', a lyrical meditation on disillusionment with the physical world, and 'Leda and the Swan', a graphic retelling of the Greek myth of Leda and Zeus.

This collection offers a poetic contemplation of life, love, and the creative process, inviting readers to explore the depths of Yeats's imagination.
