	An ISLAND IN THE MOON: Introduction, page 2
		Blake was 27 years old, five years a professional engraver, two years married, and a new co-proprietor of a print-selling business, hoping, as he makes clear in Island, to make money and a reputation, but also, no doubt, to buy time for his other loves, poetry and painting.
		Blake was also the author of Poetical Sketches, songs and poems written primarily during his engraving apprenticeship, when he was a teenager.
		Blake sang and read his songs and poems at these “most agreeable conversaziones” and, according to one participant, “was listened to by the company with profound silence, and allowed by most of the visitors to possess original and extraordinary merit.”

	Island of Freedom - William Blake
		Blake spent all of his relatively quiet life in London except for a stay at Felpham, on the southern coast of England, from 1800 to 1803.
		Blake produced and published his other works himself, except those which remained in manuscript at his death, by using his own unique method of engraving both illustration and text on copper plates and coloring the printed volumes by hand.
		Blake's work was not well known in his lifetime, but his influence is apparent in the work of several painters who knew him when he was an old man, particularly Samuel Palmer.
