Community Project: William Blake and His Poetry

In our small class at CAL, there are several different blogs being written, and while the blog http://bamf-williamblakeandhispoetry.blogspot.com/ has very good materiel, I must be honest in the fact that one of the main reasons why I chose their site was because it has a fish tank at the top, which is, sadly, hilariously fun to screw around with. But getting on to the more seriousness of the actual blog, the blog “William Blake and his Poetry” is about exactly what you would expect, William Blake. This blog’s main theme is about mainly his poems, as specified in the name. To someone that hasn’t been studying romanticism as we have; much of it is very useful information that is probably something that that person didn’t know before. Some of the blog posts also have pictures that are related to their posts, and that would be very helpful to a newcomer as well. Two specific posts that I noticed when reading through, included, one, a post about our blog, which I did not realize until I had already chosen this blog to write about, and two, the post called simply “The Lamb.” “The Lamb” stood out to me because of how cleanly written it was, in that it had the poem it discussed above it, easily accessible, and two, because of its religious views of Blake’s poem. Using a religious view was a great way to interpret that poem, because religion can be your own views and most importantly, you beliefs. If you believe in something, your thoughts will be incredibly more personal than pure facts. Out of the posts that I read, “The Lamb” was my favorite.



The Blog “William Blake and his Poetry” had Nick Aicher, Elizabeth Martinez, and Taylor Kunz as it’s authors.
