| Summary | "The Collected Works in Verse and Prose of William Butler Yeats, Vol. 6" is a compilation of Yeats's writings, which includes essays and poetry, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume, focusing on themes of popular poetry, the philosophy of notable poets, and the intersection of art and magic, showcases Yeats's deep engagement with Irish culture and literary tradition. Readers can expect contemplations on the nature of poetry, how it reflects cultural identity, and the connection between imaginative expression and reincarnation of ancient myths and beliefs. The opening portion of this volume introduces Yeats’s thoughts on 'popular poetry.' He reflects on his youthful discussions within his literary circle about Irish poets, expressing a desire for a unique style that resonates with the Irish people rather than adhering strictly to English forms. He muses on the potential beauty in simplicity and seeks ways to capture the deep emotional currents of the Irish experience. By critiquing popular poets' engagements with their cultural heritage, Yeats sets the stage for a broader exploration of how poetry connects to national identity and personal sentiment throughout the collection.
