Singing Yeats!

WB Yeats wrote for the ear. He used a psalter and recited his poetry in an almost chanting way to move it out of everyday speech into an unearthly space. Enda's interpretations of his poetry are somewhat more melodic but equally bring Yeats' words off the page and help us feel the meaning and hear the beauty of the poetry from a fresh perspective. We are delighted to welcome Enda Reilly to the NLI for this special performance in the home of the WB Yeats collection, the world’s largest collection of books, manuscripts and personal items relating to the poet.
