Episode 135: Songs of Innocence and experience

Michial Farmer chats with David Grubbs and Nathan Gilmour about William Blake's poetic collection "Songs of Innocence and Experience." The trio takes on the standard anthology pieces like "Little Lamb," "The Tyger," and "London," and they also discuss some of the back-catalog poems in the collection and venture on occasion into "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" and the prophetic poems. Among the poems and other realities discussed are "America: A Prophecy," "The Clod and the Pebble," Romanticism, Milton's Satan, and print-making.
