Video recording of Georgia author Judith Ortiz Cofer explaining how she can relate to the work of poet William Blake, or of any artist, through her imagination and a sense of common humanity. She sits in front of a bookshelf and faces forward. She begins by stating that she "absolutely adore[s] Blake." She refers to him as the "first hippie." She then addresses the question of how she can relate to Blake and his works. She notes that he is "as alive as anybody" when she reads his works, and her imagination allows her to read works that depict places, times, and situations in which she has never lived. - Metadata URL:
