| Songs of Innocence and of Experience / William Blake : 4 of 5 | |

 During my college days I became addicted to poetry and generally focused on older, traditional styles. Most poets I chose generally had romantic or spiritual themes, and I loved lurking around the old library stacks finding musty books that seemed to have been neglected. William Blake certainly is too popular to be forgotten, but he still fit my taste at the time. I was recently reminded of him while watching some students reading at Mozart's, and decided to buy some newer editions and check him out again. Songs is a wonderful book, full of light fun poetry as well as dark brooding works, with amazing illustrations (all by Blake). The commentary in this edition is really great, too. Anyone who hasn't read more than The Tyger is absolutely required to read the rest of Songs!Labels: books |
