“Where poetry remembers it was once story.”W.B.Yeats:
From the Page to the Peat-Fire
Click to hear Soundtrack Music
They say W.B. Yeats wrote for the gods…
but tonight, we bring him back to the fire where the
rest of us sit.
Step
out of the printed page and into the flicker of story, where poems become
voices, and voices become living things once more.
In
this brief fireside session, a handful of Yeats’ most haunting works are retold
as tales—of broken promises, stolen children, wandering souls, and loves that
refuse the grave. The veil between worlds grows thin, as it always does in
Yeats, and what was once written becomes spoken… and heard.
No
stage. No spectacle. Just a voice, a fire, and the old stories finding their
way home.
this might be the night he feels close enough to hear.
