Meet all sorts of people from his life, including but not limited to:

•  The poet's father, the struggling artist John Butler Yeats
• His mother Susan
• The well-to-do Sligo girl who had no choice but to follow her husband's path
• His five siblings
• Oscar Wilde, Lady Gregory, Maud Gonne, as well as countless others who helped weave the cloth of Yeats's poetic gift.
