Assignment for 1/28

When you see this - you guessed it - I'm giving a you an assignment for your post response. The first readings were about Ireland, the Irish background to literature... and a couple early poems by the quintessential Irish Bard, William Butler Yeats. How, in these early poems, do you see Yeats trying to stake out his identity as an Irish poet... and just as a poet? Is there something in his work that reflects the stormy history of Ireland. Review and summarize the readings in your post. Also, bring your blog URL to class for me so I can add a link over to the right.
