  A Certain Clarity - Selected Poems

  This program is read by the author.A selection of poems from the celebrated poet and lawyerBeginning with his first book, Shouting at No One, from 1983, and continuing through to So Where Are We?, from 2017, A Certain Clarity provides a generous selection of Lawrence Joseph’s poetry “of great dignity, grace, and unrelenting persuasiveness” (John Ashbery), each poem “an inspired, made thing by a poet-advocate who has honed a timely song within an urgent testimony that embraces the complex density of truth” (Yusef Komunyakaa).Joseph’s poems comprise one of the most essential and visionary bodies of work in contemporary American poetry. No other American poet covers the territory Joseph does. His ever-new interactions of thoughts, voices, and languages—impacted by his Lebanese and Syrian Catholic heritage, his professional life as a lawyer and legal scholar, and the economies of the world of working-class labor from which he comes—bear witness, on multilayered spatial and temporal planes, to the velocities of global and historical change, and to power structures embodied in endless wars, unleashed capital, racism, and ecological destruction, presenting an ongoing chronicle of what it means to write poetry in the turbulent times in which we live. But also integral to Joseph’s poetry is a sensual intimacy, passionately driven by an acute awareness of a deeper order in which beauty, love, and justice are indistinguishable.Meticulously formed, emotionally fierce, intellectually challenging, Joseph’s poems press back against the high-stakes pressures of our time with a moral and aesthetic intensity not easily forgotten.A Macmillan Audio production from Farrar, Straus and GirouxCover Image: East River from the Shelton (East River No.1), ca. 1927–28, © 2019 Georgia O’Keeffe Museum / Artists Rights Society (ARS), New York; Collection of the New Jersey State Museum; purchased by the Association for the Arts of the New Jersey State Museum with a gift from Mary Lea Johnson, FA1972.229; reproduced with permission.

  The Poetry Of William Blake

  William Blake

  William Blake was born on 28th November 1757 in London to parents of modest income that could only afford a basic education of reading and writing although he did attend a drawing school for a short time.  His artistic skill was apparent relatively early and at the age of 14 he stopped working in his father’s hosiery shop and became an apprentice engraver.  This apprenticeship finished when he was 21 and at 25 he married Catherine Boucher.  He taught her to read and write and  together in 1789 they published Songs of Innocence with text and engravings printed from copper plates and illustrations finished by hand with watercolours.  It did not sell well and throughout his life he remained largely unrecognised often on the verge of poverty.  This led to a deep depression for many years and he was often considered mad by his contemporaries.  His creativity and imagination with its undercurrents of mysticism, spiritualism and philosophy are apparent in this selection of poems and whilst classed as a seminal figure in the Romantic Age it wasn’t until the late 19th century that his work was recognised.  The 20th century saw an even  greater appreciation of his poetry with Blake’s voyage beyond  the rational and material chiming with the Beat poets, Dylan, Van Morrison and Jim Morrison of the band the Doors , named after Blake’s phrase Doors of Perception from his poem Marriage of Heaven and Hell.  Further acclaim has been attributed to him from many scholars of art, psychology and of course literature.   His poems have inspired composers such as Vaughn Williams, Britten and Taverner  and Jerusalem a hymn still sung today.  Blake’s vivid and intense work is still relevant to all to this day and he is recognised as a saint in the Ecclesia Gnostica Catholica.  William Blake died on 12th August 1827 and in 1957 a memorial was erected at Poet’s Corner in Westminster Abbey. Here we present two of his exceptionally fine epic poems.
