The Society is a set of individuals who love Blake - poet, artist and visionary. Our activites are a union of exegesis and inspiration - we search for the provenance of his imagination and we try to act with creativity and vision.

ORC : Revolution and Creativity in William Blake
3pm on Tuesday 13 December 2011
Tent City University, The Steps of St Paul’s Cathedral, St Paul’s Churchyard, London EC4M 8AD
Blake famously wrote ‘I must Create a System, or be enslav’d by another Mans’. This event looks at Orc, Blake’s figure of Revolution, and how creativity is inextricably bound up with personal and social change. An artist’s vision can ignite - and indeed change - the world! The talk takes the form of a conversation between the poet Jeremy Reed, author of over 40 books, and the Chair of the Blake Society.
The tent is small, so come early. We will also endeavour to record the event on film to be edited and shared with our membership later.
