The Great Poets Series - Book 0
William Blake
“Blake’s poetry presents a series of challenges for those reading it aloud because it ranges from the exuberant to the frightening. The use of three narrators in this audio anthology is a wise editorial decision, as it allows the poems to benefit from a broader range of voices.”

Naxos AudioBooks begins its new Great Poets series—represented by a selection of the poet’s most popular poems on one CD—with William Blake, whose 250th anniversary of his birth was celebrated in 2014.
This CD contains all of his most popular works, including “Tyger,” “Auguries of Innocence,” and “Jerusalem,” as well as some lesser-known poetry that demonstrates the range and power of his verse.
These poems are strikingly read by Robert Glenister, Michael Maloney and Stephen Critchlow.
