Synopsis

William Blake's "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" is a seminal work that challenges the confines of traditional dichotomies, presenting a visionary synthesis of spiritual and earthly realms. Through a unique mix of poetry, philosophy, and vivid visual imagery, Blake employs a robust literary style marked by rich symbolism and dynamic contrasts. The text serves as a radical rethinking of the relationships between good and evil, body and spirit, challenging established religious norms of his time while drawing from both Enlightenment ideas and mystical traditions. The richly illustrated plates enhance the reading experience, offering a dual interplay between textual and visual rhetoric that invites deep contemplation. Blake, a poet, painter, and printmaker, was a key figure in the Romantic movement, known for his deep engagement with spiritual and philosophical concepts. His rebellious spirit against the institutional dogmas of religion and his embrace of personal visionary experience significantly shaped "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell." Blake's own life—marked by mysticism, poverty, and an ongoing quest for artistic and spiritual freedom—led him to produce this work as both a critique and a celebration of the human experience. This book is highly recommended for readers interested in exploring the intersections of art, spirituality, and philosophy. "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" not only broadens the understanding of Blake's oeuvre but also serves as a profound invitation for readers to reevaluate the constructs of morality and existence, making it essential for scholars and enthusiasts alike.

    The Shangri LaTitudes of the title are not some imaginary abodes in the clouds, above and beyond ordinary reality. These latitudes are the ones which lie where the paths of Truth and Beauty cross, forming quadrants where each sub-subject comingles to form fresh ruminations, not unlike those from Rumi, not unlike Four Quartets by Eliot, though using forms unfamiliar to either poet. There are four rooms in the human heart, each one its own experiential zone where passions move around, up down and around within the stream of consciousness, as well as stirring the subconsciousness. Perhaps the latter ruminations form the greater portion of the poems in this selection. This is a book of brief poems deliberately constructed for easy reading, brief pieces that can be picked up and put down within a few moments. One or two poems may take longer to digest, but hopefully the same intensity of feeling will be there, like a bonsai arriving at your coffee table, all trim, newly in flower.
