I love Yeats. I enjoy some of his cranky poems about other poets, but my favorite poem he wrote is "The Lake Isle of Innisfree." It's quiet, contemplative, and yet carries the soft sadness of yearning in it that many feel, but few have been able to depict adequately for my taste.

Yeats. I can't remember the name of it, but I like all of his that I know, including the one with Rose Red and a "clever" one about buying "love."

Pat Ingolsby would be my favourite Irish poet. His work is both funny and poignant and the fact that he is still producing vast amounts of excellent poetry after all these years is amazing.
