Yeats is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the character of Red Hanrahan, a hedge schoolmaster and poet, exploring themes of love, loss, and the intersection of the mystical with everyday life in rural Ireland. Through a series of interconnected narratives, Yeats delves into Irish folklore, featuring magical elements that highlight the struggles and desires of Hanrahan and the people around him. The stories begin with Hanrahan's longing for his lost love, Mary Lavelle, and his encounters with various supernatural beings and old traditions that shape his experiences. As he journeys through love, heartache, and the passage of time, he grapples with his identity as a poet and seeker of beauty. Each tale unfolds Hanrahan's relationships and his internal conflicts, revealing the impact of age, societal norms, and mythical influences on his life. From the evocative beauty of his songs to the haunting realization of his fade from youth, the collection poignantly captures the essence of a poet wandering in search of meaning and connection amidst both earthly and ethereal realms.
