Divining Poets: Yeats

Praise for W.B. Yeats: "[Yeats is] one of those few whose history is the history of their own time, who are part of the consciousness of an age which cannot be understood without them." —T.S. Eliot "Yeats’s lines work outside their context because the word pairings are brilliant in and of themselves.” —The Paris Review "[He encourages us] to be more resolutely and abundantly alive, whatever the conditions." —Seamus Heaney "Not only is he the most quoted poet globally, but his work has appeared in every genre of the arts: opera, folk music, jazz, film, theatre, poetry, art and literature." —The Irish Times   Praise for Paul Muldoon: “[Muldoon is] one of the great poets of the past hundred years, who can be everything in his poems – word-playful, lyrical, hilarious, melancholy. And angry. Only Yeats before him could write with such measured fury.” —Roger Rosenblatt, The New York Times Book Review
