Poems
William Blake2008

William Blake is one of Britain’s most fascinating and groundbreaking poets, as well as a renowned painter, engraver, radical, and mystic. Although Blake was dismissed as an eccentric by his contemporaries, his powerful and richly symbolic poetry has been a fertile source of inspiration to the many writers and artists who have followed in his footsteps. Collected here are some of the finest of Blake’s works—including the complete poems from the famous Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience—together providing a singular picture of this unique genius.
