The Winding Stair and Other Poems. First edition, collecting some of Yeats's best and most difficult poems, suffused with "all complexities of mire and blood", including such as "A Dialogue of Self and Soul", "Blood and the Moon", "Vacillation", and "Byzantium".As he had done with The Tower (1928), Yeats commissioned his friend and fellow poet Thomas Sturge Moore, "one of the most exquisite poets writing in England" (quoted in Poetry), to design the cover and dust jacket.
