Max’s Musings: Yeats

Where do you turn to when you feel alone?

William Butler Yeats, also known as W. B. Yeats, was an Irish poet and playwright. With standalone poems like “The Second Coming”, “The Lake Isle of Innisfree”, and “Sailing to Byzantium”, I wanted to choose a lesser-known poem of his for discussion this week.

(he/him) Writing has always been cathartic and therapeutic for Maxwell. He enjoys spreading his creativity through a multitude of mediums like poetry, art, and photography. Maxwell earned his bachelor’s degree in English from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He served as a poetry editor and managing editor for the college’s literary arts journal, The Sagebrush Review. Maxwell moved to Seattle, Washington at the beginning of March of 2024 with his boyfriend. When he is not reading or writing, Maxwell enjoys watching Friends, listening to Oh Wonder, or hunting for Funko Pops. He hopes to unearth the hidden gems that lie within our vast city.
