Recent praise for Finding Blake

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

“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 (London)
