About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Crossways, by W. B. Yeats. Read by Kasper Nijsen. The first collection by Irish-born poet William Butler Yeats. Many decades before his mysterious and austere Modernist verse earned him a nobel prize, Yeats achieved renown as one of the last major poets in the High Romantic tradition. These poems showcase his Celtic imagination, his love for Irish folk-tales, and his commitment to the Romantic ideal of love. (Summary by Kasper Nijsen)
