W.B. Yeats: The Automatic "Ghost Writing" Sessions

About this episode

This episode explores W.B. Yeats' experiments with automatic writing and the paranormal experiences he and his wife encountered while creating his book 'A Vision'.

Of the many methods people use to communicate with the spirit world, the most intriguing and controversial is automatic writing. In 1917, Nobel laureate poet W.B. Yeats and his wife embarked on a paranormal journey where they used automatic writing to produce Yeats’ groundbreaking book “A Vision”. In addition to receiving messages from the spirits, the couple also witnessed other strange, unexplained phenomena. And the ensuing book is considered to be one of the strangest, most divisive works of literary modernism. Join me as I explore the fascinating story of Yeats’ experiments with automatic writing.
