Philip Hoare & Olivia Laing: William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love

In ⁠William Blake and The Sea Monsters of Love⁠ – ‘an impassioned magnum opus celebrating Blake’s star-shaken genius by discovering his lineage everywhere in the author’s own crystal cabinet of artists and outlaws,’ in the words of Iain Sinclair – Philip Hoare pays brilliant and digressive tribute to the maverick poet and artist and his abiding influence.

Hoare, author of the classic ⁠Leviathan ⁠and ⁠Albert and the Whale⁠, was joined in conversation by novelist and essayist Olivia Laing.
