Recent praise for Finding Blake

“A curious thing happened to me after watching the ‘Finding Blake’ film – I found Blake. The next morning I went straight out and bought a book on Blake’s art. The documentary cleverly focuses on the process of making a new gravestone for Blake’s burial plot. The creative journey includes sourcing Portland stone from a deep mine, which is then prepared before it is handed over to the highly skilled craft people to carve the letters. Throughout the film scholars, priests, a rapper and therapist show us how Blake is deeply relevant in their lives and vocations. This is a film that chips away at surface concerns to reveal Blake’s soulful poetry, art and hymns. I not only found Blake, I found the Spirit of Albion.” — Mick Collins – writer, academic, occupational therapist, dream worker.

“Finding Blake is a website which stirs a genuine dialogue of vast scope around the many ways in which William Blake’s work keeps on touching the lives of a diversity of artists, thinkers and individuals.” – Adriana Díaz Enciso, author & translator

“Finding Blake is already a terrific site but it’s going to become an invaluable hub for Blakeans.” – Niall McDevitt, poet & psychogeographer

“William Blake and his visionary artistic output are very relevant today since we all need to re-connect with a deeper understanding of our imaginative power. I look forward to seeing the further developments of James’ research on this topic and to understand the current state of debate around Blake’s poetry. This is an immense field to investigate, which requires an inquisitive and sensitive eye, and I am sure that it will generate an inspiring film.” – Alessandro Rabottini, curator

Aeon magazine has published an excellent essay by psychotherapist and writer Mark Vernon, discussing Blake’s unique four-fold vision and how we need to foster his state of mind. See Blakean Articles.
