Blake’s work is instantly recognizable by its flamboyance and inventiveness.

MEDIA REVIEWS

My mind and my body reacted to certain lines from the Songs of Innocence and of Experience . . . with the joyful immediacy of a flame leaping to meet a gas jet. As a poet, Blake's greatest works are the short ones, his Songs of Innocence and Experience.
