Poetry Circle: William Blake
Thursday, June 11, 2026, 6:30 PM — 8:00 PM
Born in the Age of Reason, William Blake stood apart from his strict devotion to logic and rationality. From an early age, he experienced vivid visions—unseen, unheard, and often incomprehensible to those around him. These revelations shaped his art and poetry, giving rise to a richly imaginative inner life. Poetry Circle friend Gary will lead the discussion.
