William B. Yeats: No Country for Old Men

Facilitators: Rob Gibson, Melissa Pomerantz

Poet, dramatist and Nobel laureate William B. Yeats achieved greatness as a poet through a series of personal and artistic transitions. We will consider the stages of Yeats’s evolution as an artist, an Irish nationalist, and a public man by reading and discussing selected poems from his youth, maturity, and older age.
