  1. Rupali Thareja

    I struggled to connect with the poems in this collection. Too steeped in mythology for my taste. Others may find it more appealing.

  2. Sanju Nath Pradeep

    Yeats is in a class all his own! The writing is stunning. Some poems did take a few reads to understand.

  3. Shreya Paliwal

    A solid collection. Yeats certainly knew how to weave a narrative with his poems. Some are confusing at first, but they are worth rereading.

  4. Shikhar Singh

    Not my favorite collection of poetry ever but a lot of deep meaningful thinking in a short collection. Some poems I will keep with me.

  5. Naamik Khaterpal

    I enjoyed the vivid imagery. Some of the poems were difficult to comprehend, but I overall enjoyed the book.

  6. Yash Jain

    A classic for a reason. Yeats’s use of imagery is stunning and the themes are timeless. Highly recommend for serious readers.

  7. Harshal Dharme

    Yeats’s genius shines through in this collection. ‘Leda and the Swan’ is particularly powerful. A must-read for any poetry enthusiast.

  8. Dorin Pegu

    Yeats is a master. The Tower is profound and thought-provoking. It is the best poetry book I have read this year.

  9. Abhinav Namboodiri

    Sailing to Byzantium is worth the price of admission alone. The rest is good, but that one poem is truly exceptional.

  10. Vashu Katiyar

    A mixed bag for me. Some poems were brilliant, others felt inaccessible. Overall, a worthwhile exploration of Yeats’s work.

  11. Mahak

    The poems were a bit too long, but the themes are really good. The book touches upon many subjects that are universal to the human condition.

  12. Suzal Raj

    I didn’t know much about Yeats, but I was blown away! This book has something for everyone. Read this book!

  13. Kanishk Khandelwal

    Enjoyed the mythology aspects. Some of the poems were difficult to follow at first, but worth revisiting. Beautiful and complex.

  14. Kaushiki Pandey

    Found the themes a bit depressing, but the language is undeniably beautiful. Yeats’s skill is undeniable, even if the subject matter isn’t always uplifting.

  15. Thejus Chandran C

    Great read, some poems I skipped over though. I enjoyed some more than others. It’s dense and has much to digest.

  16. Himankita Debbarma

    Yeats at his best. Some poems resonated deeply, others less so. Still, a worthwhile read for any poetry lover. A bit dense at times though.
