The Portable William Blake

The Portable William Blake by William Blake, edited by Alfred Kazin

This is a more complete collection than the audiobook I listened to before. However, it still has gaps. Some of the poems are just "selections" from a greater work.  I've added dates primarily for ones that have complete works and a single date. His works tend to be very "grand" in scope. He has an elaborate mythology created. He used pictures and words, so would probably be right at home as a comic book author today. He has a large scale universe with grand mythological porportions.

There is No Natural Religion (1788) - a logical deduction series that looks at man being limited by senses. God is infinite. Man is Finite.

All Religions are One (1788) - Another logical deduction. This one uses a "poetical genius" as the source of all religions.

Songs of Innocence - these were 

Songs of Experience

Additional Poems

Verses and fragments from the Rossetti and Pickering manuscripts

Selections from the Letters

The Prophetic Books

• The Marriage of Heaven and Hell (1793) - see previous entry
• For the Sexes: The Gates of Paradise
• The Book of Thel (1789) - A sort of love poem. She is a deific woman who is all consuming. The boem ends with comparisons to many body parts.
• Visions of the Daughters of Albion (1793) - tied a bit of love with mythological grandeur. 
• America - A Prophecy (1793) - Has a mixture of historical events and figured tied together with elaborate tales from Blake's mythology
• Europe (1794) - does mention Music of the Spheres. Did Coldplay get ideas here? Other than a few references such as England and Thames, this is more of a mythological world than identifiable Europe
• The First Book of Urizen (1794) - reminded me of Marvel works. This is a more typical epic poem of super beings 
• The Book of Ahania (1795) - Urizen is mentioned a lot in this work that extends the universe
• The Book of Los (1795) - another related Urizen work
• The Song of Los (1795) - ties together Urizen with biblical and contemporary figures
• Selections From ”The Four Zoas'' (1797) (or Vala) - This has nine "nights" each of which is a vvery long epic poem in its own right. It includes much of Blake's mythology 
• Selections From “Milton'' 
• Selections From “Jerusalem''
