Poems
In A Grain of Sand in Lambeth, poetry becomes a lens through which to explore the complex, visionary world of William Blake. Drawing on Blake’ s own rejection of tradition and his relentless quest to challenge the boundaries of art, Geoffrey Babbitt confronts the tensions between genius and convention, life and death, light and dark.

Each poem in this collection inhabits a moment of Blake's life, offering a vivid glimpse into his unique perspective - a perspective that rejected the normative for the transformative power of imagination. From his visionary watercolors to his provocative views on oil painting, these poems draw readers into Blake's world, where reality and the unseen converge in prismatic intensity.

A Grain of Sand in Lambeth is an invitation to experience the world through Blake's eyes - a world where imagination reigns supreme and art is a living force.
