The poet I chose to do for our team project is William Blake. Blake was born November 28, 1757 and died August 12, 1827. Blake was not only an English poet but a visionary, painter, and printmaker. Unfortunately, Blake was not recognized during his lifetime. Today he is known for being on of history's greatest poets, painters, and printmakers.

This piece of artwork to the left is a famous work of Blake's. The archetype of the Creator is a familiar image in his work. Here, Blake depicts his demiurgic figure Urizen stooped in prayer, contemplating the world he has forged. The Song of Los is the third in a series of illuminated books painted by Blake and his wife Catherine, collectively known as the Continental Prophecies.
