Essential Blake
Essential Blake | William Blake
11 posts | 2 read
From the introduction by Stanley Kunitz: Blake speaks more directly to us, anticipating the issues, conflicts, and anxieties of the modern world, than any of his contemporaries. It could be argued that he dared, in fact, to be the first modern poet. . . . Above all, Blake teaches us that the imagination is a portion of the divine principle, that "Energy is Eternal Delight," and that "everything that lives is Holy." Human liberty and imagination have never been better served.

@LazyDays thank you very much for the #favoritepoetswap match.

This is just a blurb to my swap partner to say that although I have listed Blake as a favourite poet, I do have the complete works as he was my BA dissertation subject. EDIT: I've now attached a photo of Blake books I own (titles you can't see will be in comments).
