Indeed, both poets literally viewed themselves as prophets. Blake, recalling the words of Hebraic scripture, often referred to himself as "the voice of one crying in the wilderness," while Wordsworth considered his role as poet, "the rock of defense for human nature."

In Poet Prophets, Vogel showcases the incredible visionary power of these two remarkable poets with an illuminating introductory essay exploring their roles as messengers of a spiritual reality to which most were "out of tune"; 50 poems from each author, including all of their major works; a list of famous quotes for easy-reference; and brief introductions to each poem to provide context and accessibility.

The ideal book for the student, teacher, or lover of Blake and Wordsworth's writings, Poet Prophets introduces the reader to a world of astounding insight, beauty, and vision.
