The Tower is a book of poems by W. B. Yeats, published in 1928. The Tower was Yeatss first major collection as Nobel Laureate after receiving the Nobel Prize in 1923. It is considered to be one of the poets most influential volumes and was well received by the public.The title, which the book shares with the second poem, refers to Ballylee Castle, a Norman tower which Yeats purchased and restored in 1917. Yeats Gaelicized the name to Thoor Ballyllee, and it has retained the title to this day. Yeats often summered at Thoor Ballylee with his family until 1928.The book includes several of Yeats most famous poems, including "Sailing to Byzantium," "Leda and the Swan," and "Among School Children."The book entered the public domain in the United States in 2024. All of the poems included in The Tower had previously appeared elsewhere in print collections and periodicals. Many of the poems featured in Seven Poems and a Fragment, The Cat and the Moon and Certain Poems, and October Blast released by Cuala Press. Other poems had been collected in A Vision. Many of the poems in The Tower demonstrate Yeatss disillusionment with the limitations of the physical world and his withdrawal from ordinary life. The poet seeks to transcend the conflicts between the dichotomies of mind/body and thought/action by allowing poetry to exist in the world of vision rather than the world of reality.
