Selected and Introduced by Patti Smith. 172pp. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in Fine condition. "William Blake is one of Britain's most fascinating writers, who, as well as being a gro…undbreaking poet, is also well known as a 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. In this collection Patti Smith has gathered together her personal selection of Blake's poems, including the complete poems from the famous Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, to give a singular picture of this unique genius. It includes extracts from Blake's letters." [publisher copy] P.S.: "I can't imagine my childhood without him. His poems were my companions, my friends. I had pneumonia, I contracted TB, scarlet fever, every childhood disease. And my two favourite books were William Blake's Songs of Innocence and Experience, and the children's poems of Robert Louis Stevenson." In 2007, to celebrate the 250th anniversary of Blake's birth, Smith edited a selection of his verses simply titled POEMS--"a bit of Blake, designed as a bedside companion or to accompany a walk in the countryside, to sit beneath a shady tree and discover a portal into his visionary and musical experience." Fine & handy paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine (tho some slight waviness in "The Gates of Paradise" 21 pages). Quite presentable.
