His Gift to Me: Poetic Humanities is a short read, but impacting. It is an awe-inspired collection of tell-all poems about his story, her story, my story, and even, your story in a poetic voice. It is the voice of the inhibited and the proud, the introvert and the extrovert. It is open, honest, and compassionate poetry that soothes as it communicates hurt, heartache, pain, love, joy, peace, and happiness. It’s life in a poetic voice. His Gift to Me: Poetic Humanities strengthens and embraces the reader as it acts as a help aid in moving on and living whole. Ms. King’s book, His Gift to Me: Poetic Humanities, is inspiring and lifted my soul. —Bridgett Anne Kotz, Chicago, Illinois Ms. King’s words of wisdom, encouragement, and experience . . . just as Dr. King, “We shall overcome.” —Ayonda W., Chicago, Illinois Ms. King’s His Gift to Me is a raw and emotional journey. This journey through the roller coaster that is life is filled with such realism that anyone can relate to. It is a true testament that if God brought you to it, he will bring you through it. —Catherine Goodwin, Lansing, Illinois The poem “Why” touched me because it felt like it related to me, now, that I am overcoming pain and hurt. It was a joy to see the words on paper. Overall, this poetry book was uplifting to my soul; it touched my heart and is full of wisdom. —Sherry Nesbury, Chicago, Illinois His Gift to Me is an extraordinary life-lived book of poems. It gets two thumbs up and a “You go girl!” in Jesus’s name. —Robin Jones, Chicago, Illinois “Life allowed you the opportunity to live it once more; a chance to rearrange your life or to continue as before.” That’s the part which stood out for me. I have another chance to live again. —Mary Walker, Chicago, Illinois The book His Gift to Me is an interesting read. It pulls the reader into its pages and transports them to live, for a short while, within its storyline and message. You don’t have to have any religious beliefs to understand the message that comes across—the message being of hope and of the power of the human mind. I’ve given this book to others to read; they’ve had positive and similar experiences as well. The verbiage is in a certain style, which helps to place the reader in the appropriate mind frame lending to the credibility. —Anonymous, Chicago, Illinois

William Blake (1757 - 1827) is one of the great figures in literature, by turns poet, artist and visonary. Profoundly libertarian in outlook, Blake's engagement with the issues of his day is well known and this - along with his own idiosynratic concerns - flows through his poetry and art. Like Milton before him, the prodigality of his allusions and references is little short of astonishing. Consquently, his longer viosnary poems can challege the modern reader, who will find in this avowedly open edition all they might need to interpret the poetry. W. H. Stevenson's Blake is a masterpiece of scrupulous scholarship. It is, as the editor makes clear in his introduction, 'designed to be widely, and fluently, read' and this Third Edition incorporates many changes to further that aim. Many of the headnotes have been rewritten and the footnotes updated. The full texts of the early prose tracts, All Religions are One and There is no Natural Religion, are included for the first time. In many instances, Blake's capitalisation has been restored, better to convey the expressive individuality of his writing. In addition, a full colour plate section contains a representation of Blake's most significant paintings and designs. As the 250th anniversary of his birth approaches, Blake has perhaps more readers than ever before; Blake: The Complete Poems will stand those readers, new and old, in good stead for many years to come.
