William Blake - Episode 1 - January 15th 2010

New series of live online broadcasts featuring the poetry of William Blake, the English poet, painter, and printmaker.

His prophetic poetry has been said to form "what is in proportion to its merits the least read body of poetry in the English language". Download with iTunes
