About this book
Deep-Sworn Vow by William Butler Yeats opens with a striking pledge of feeling that leads into the poet’s rich tapestry of myth, memory, and spiritual resolve. Collected from Yeats’s work around the time of The Wild Swans at Coole, these poems blend Irish landscape and personal obsession with symbols drawn from folklore and the occult, revealing the restless modernist voice that reshaped 20th-century poetry.
Yeats’s language moves between the intimate and the visionary, introducing familiar figures such as Michael Robartes and John Aherne while experimenting with dramatic forms inspired by Japanese dance plays. Themes of love, fate, national identity, and the passage of time are rendered in lyrical lines that reward repeated listening—each poem a compact performance of image, sound, and conviction set against the aftermath of World War I and Ireland’s cultural revival.
Ideal for listeners who appreciate classic poetry, modernist literature, and Irish literary history, this poetry audiobook offers a haunting, musical experience. Tune in for Yeats’s evocative voice and let his symbolic, melodic verses deepen your appreciation of poetic craft and the quiet power of a vow.
