I like William Blake's poetry, but I actually like the non-nature-themed poems better, and this is mostly poetry about how great fields and streams are. I know I'm being dismissive of a great poet, but it's a taste thing.

I found this in my local boîte à dons. It's a beautifully presented selection of some of Blake's best work printed in a small hardback edition that will fit perfectly in a pocket of your cargo-trousers or man bag.

Blake's poetry is so much richer with the images included.

I don't know what Geoffrey Moore has to do with anything - the book is edited and with an introduction by Peter Porter. Also I wish there was a way to submit a cover image.

Tiny hard cover book, burgundy cover, design similar to others in the same collection.

This is a very nice book with interesting illustrations. This is very deep poetry and I am still trying to figure out some of it.
