Born in Sandymount, Dublin, Ireland, on June 13, 1865, William Butler Yeats is one of the most renowned poets of the 20th Century, if not the entirety of modern poetry. A romantic poet, Yeats, while writing about love, loss and grief, was also a key part of the celtic and gaelic revival, often writing on themes of Irish folklore and mysticism. William Butler Yeats was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923 and died on January 28, 1939, in Roquebrune-Cap-Martin, France.
