Supper Club with Mark Vernon on William Blake
Fri 25 Nov 2022 6:30 PM - 10:30 PM
Kairos, EC1A 2AT
Description
The Kairos Supper Club with Mark Vernon on William Blake, London’s greatest poet and prophet, also a tremendous thinker with a keen diagnosis of what was unfolding in his time, which is also our time. Blake understood the human yearning for more, the multifaceted inner life of places and ages, the mixture of ecologies within which, and with which, we live.
This talk and discussion will include an introduction to some of Blake’s most punchy intuitions, thoughts on how his insights matter, and time to explore and question what he might be saying to us now.
