New book offers a suitably poetic vision of Blake and his legacy

A new book titled "William Blake and the Sea Monsters of Love" by biographer and critic Philip Hoare explores the life and work of William Blake, focusing on the three years the artist spent in Felpham, a coastal village in England, starting in 1800. Hoare argues that the ocean profoundly influenced Blake's art and poetry, using the sea as a metaphor to examine Blake's visionary prints, poems like "Milton," and his androgynous, fluid figures. The book also weaves in a cast of other historical figures—including Herman Melville, Paul Nash, and Nancy Cunard—whom Hoare dubs "sea monsters" for their rebellious, queer, and amphibious spirits.
