Amazing book

One of the best poets ever and an amazing performer. Life changing. Would highly recommend.

It is Blake

I recommend this book for anyone who wants an amateur but good sounding voice talent.

As is Virgil from DMC was narrating it.

For anyone well acquainted with the Old Testament, these poems are a blast. My favorite 2 were: There is no natural religion, and A marriage of heaven and hell. They do require multiple listens, and lots of uninterrupted periods of serious introspection.
