Gonne/Yeats – A Literary Cabaret

He, perhaps the world’s greatest poet. She, an Irish patriot, feminist, ardent defender of the poor and homeless – said to be the most beautiful woman in Ireland.  He, deeply in love with her, wrote much of his poetry for her, to her.  We owe her for much – including many of his beautiful words.  Yet, she preferred a pike or pistol to poetry.  In dialogue, verse and song, here is one of the most moving love stories – seldom told – Maud Gonne and William Butler Yeats.
