“Quarrel and Antinomies” - Michael Cowan

On March 27, 2026, Michael Cowan concluded his retreat on William Butler Yeats with a lecture on Yeats’s late poetry. Shifting from his earlier romantic imaginings, Yeats in his final years turned his attention to the person and wondered at the mystery of human life.
