William Blake is one of Britain's most fascinating and groundbreaking poets, as well as a renowned painter, engraver, radical, and mystic. Although Blake was dismissed as an eccentric by his contemporaries, his powerful and richly symbolic poetry has been a fertile source of inspiration to the many writers and artists who have followed in his footsteps. Collected here are some of the finest of Blake's works-including the complete poems from the famous "Songs of Innocence" and "Songs of Experience"-together providing a singular picture of this unique genius.

Bare Bones,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Poems of William Blake (Kindle Edition)
Contains Songs of Innocence and Experience and The Book of Thel only. Text is poorly formated; the line breaks are all screwed up. Blake is something you really really need to see on a page so do yourself a favor and buy a physical copy...ideally with the beautiful etchings which Blake melded with the text.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Poems of William Blake (Paperback)
Auguries of Innocence "to see the world in a grain of sand" is missing in the edition which I could see online - I bought it as a gift and my friend told me that the pages numbers do not match the description and the index of first lines - which puts the poem on a page that is not there. There are fewer pages than described

Formatting,
This review is from: Poems of William Blake (Kindle Edition)
Formatting is a key consideration to writing and reading poetry. This edition has no line breaks, and the formatting is very poor. But the text is intact, and how can you argue with free?
