W.B. Yeats: No Country for Old Men (Ireland) | (55 min; 2012; English)
Director: Maurice Sweeney

Maurice Sweeney’s documentary about the Irish poet W.B. Yeats concentrates on his later work and the themes that inspired him as he aged. His best-known poetry is his early work, but it is now acknowledged that perhaps his greatest poems followed his Nobel Prize for Literature in 1923.
