Sinopsis

William Blake's "The Book of Urizen" stands as a profound exploration of creation, the human condition, and the dichotomy between reason and imagination, interweaving poetic narrative with striking illuminated illustrations. Written in 1794, this work exemplifies Blake's innovative literary style, characterized by rhythmic verse and symbolic language that elevates philosophical themes to a mythical realm. Contextually, it emerges from the tumultuous social and political landscapes of the late 18th century, reflecting Blake's response to the Enlightenment's rationalism and advocating for a return to a more mystical, intuitive understanding of existence. Blake, an engraver and poet, was deeply influenced by his experiences in a radically changing world, shaped by his fervent interest in spirituality and the metaphysical. His unique artistic vision converged with his desire to convey complex philosophical ideas, leading him to create a narrative that critiques the constrictive notions of reason embodied by Urizen, a figure representing law and order. This work serves as a testament to Blake's revolutionary thoughts, often challenging the status quo of both religion and politics. Readers drawn to visionary literature and poetic exploration will find "The Book of Urizen" to be a compelling journey through Blake's imaginative landscape. Engaging with this illuminated manuscript invites a deeper understanding of the interplay between reason and creativity, making it a crucial addition to the libraries of those intrigued by the complexities of human existence.

Rainer Maria Rilke (1875-1926) is the finest Austrian poet of this century and one of the greatest lyrical writers in the history of Western literature. A major figure in the modernist movement, with some affinities to Yeats, Rilke had a profound influence on other 20th century poets such as Pasternak and Akhmatova. He is a master of vivid and breathtakingly original imagery in which difficult ideas are made directly apprehensible to the reader and new worlds of experience are opened up.

The basic idea of this book is to share life experiences, and thereby give comfort and encourage smiles, by showing my own and others’ reflections on different life-situations. I am sure that many of them are comparable to those that occur in your life, or to others around you. By sharing 
experiences, we all learn something. Women are probably sharing thoughts more often than men. Many of the events in this book have also been discussed in female groups. They have not all been personally experienced by me but are the consensus from these fruitful discussions.
 Now I am pleased to share them with you. Among the experiences discussed in this book: heartbreak, the #MeToo movement and my own experiences, divorce as its complication as a
 parent, and my own thoughts about the pandemic. I also share with you my thoughts about the aging process that we all must endure, if we are lucky enough to live that long, since life is still a gift given to us all. We ought to remember that and enjoy the journey.

But finding a starting point can be overwhelming, even off-putting, so in this series we offer up our Top 10 classic poets, who brim with talent and verse, on a range of subjects and themes that we can all enjoy. 
In this volume we gather some of those poets who perished before they reached the age of 30.  Whether by war, their own hand, accident or other cause their legacies are a bright reminder of just how talented their short lives were.
