At the end of his life, William Blake (1757-1827) gave up hope of being widely understood, but the twentieth century brought to his work a new and intense interest and acclaim.

Included in this collection are well-known poems such as "Tyger! Tyger! Burning Bright" and "A Poison Tree"; longer poems such as "The Everlasting Gospel", "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell"; Blake's principal prose work; and an assortment of epigrams and short satire.

Poet, artist, and mystic, Blake wrote, "I must Create a System or be enslav'd by another Man's." Create he did.

Welcome to the NHK! Everyone's in a tizzy about what such and such contemporary poet said, or is worried (wearied?) that so 🤔 and so is "controversial" because of his or her "personal life".

I wonder how mad they would get if they listened to poets who lived 200 years ago!!!

The egotistical sublime!

A wonderful book that I found to be developmental and maturative for a young man coming of age such as myself. I found this book to be worthwhile and generally intelligent and I found incredible relation with the author. I further highly recommend this book.

A pivotal book

his tiger burns bright as it leaps from the page to the voice. who knew Blake could be sparky as well as ethereal. what a kick I got out of hearing him lambast Swinbourn

what a gift to listen to Blake
