Description
Under the Moon is a collection of thirty-eight unpublished poems by W.B. Yeats, written between his late teens and late twenties. These works showcase the poet's early experimentation with themes that would become central to his later work, including Irish nationalism, love, and spirituality. First published in facsimile edition and transcription of Yeats' surviving manuscripts, this book offers a unique insight into the poet's process of self-discovery and artistic development. The poems on display demonstrate Yeats' rich, exuberant, and sometimes awkward style, which would eventually become renowned for its soaring sense of potential. With over two dozen previously unpublished poems, Under the Moon provides an essential reading experience for anyone interested in modern poetry and the life and work of W.B. Yeats.
