I only have the one volume of him solely, I imagine I have more Blake in the Harold Bloom anthology which I need to get back to. I think there's a feeling of more being at stake in the time of Blake and other older poets. There were more mysteries abounding and to be able to riff on that is intoxicating to read.
That's a good question. A poetry Desert Island Discs could make for a good talking point if we're only taking two poets and their oeuvre and that's our lot.
It's great to hear some Blake. I confess I haven't read him extensively.

Blake and Dickinson - is anything else necessary?
