It was to be Yeats' earlier Celtic mode that was to be most influential. Amongst the most prominent followers of the early Yeats were [[Padric Colum]] (1881-1972), [[F. R. Higgins]] (1896-1941), and [[Austin Clarke]] (1896–1974). In the 1950s, Clarke, returning to poetry after a long absence, turned to a much more personal style and wrote many satires on Irish society and religious practices.

In fact, Irish poetic Modernism took its lead not from Yeats but from Joyce. The 1930s say the emergence of a generation of writers who were to engage with experimental writing as a matter of course. The most well known of these is [[Samuel Beckett]] (1906-1989). Beckett's poetry, while not inconsiderable, is not what he is best known for. /Coffey/Devlin/Salkeld/Devenport O'Neill
