YEATS DAY 2020

On Saturday June 13th we were pleased to celebrate Yeats day joining Yeat’s expert and biographer Anthony Jordan as in 2020 this annual event was celebrated virtually. Anthony "Tony" J. Jordan, a native of Ballyhaunis, County Mayo is an Irish biographer with a  special interest on the interaction between the figures of Major John MacBride/WB Yeats and Maud Gonne. On discovering the MacBride Papers in the National Library of Ireland, he has made them available through his books in elucidation on MacBride from the criticism by WB Yeats and his admirers.
