The Selected Poems Of William Blake by William Blake
A compact selection of visionary, often prophetic lyric poems that probe the tensions between innocence and experience, the spiritual and the material, and individual imagination versus social conformity; it pairs simple, childlike songs with fierce moral indictments and mythic, symbolic pieces that confront industrial-era injustice, spiritual longing, and revolutionary hope. The collection moves from intimate pastoral voices to grand apocalyptic visions, using striking imagery, paradox, and condensed language to create a sustained moral and imaginative landscape that challenges readers to reconsider perception, authority, and the possibilities of salvation and creativity.
