A Full Moon in March and New Poems

Abstract

After the 1933 Collected Poems Yeats did not issue any new poetry in book form in London until A Full Moon in March, published on 22 November 1935 in an edition of 2000 copies. This contained only a relatively few poems, gathered under the heading “Parnell’s Funeral and Other Poems”. Yeats described the volume to Ethel Mannin as “Not much in it — illness interfered” (L 844), overlooking the several other projects he had been engaged on during the recent past.
