Review:

"This book charts new territory in the relationship between Medicine and the Arts, posing Blake to become a central figure in the healing arts as well as a significant figure in our culture. Dr. Diamond touches the healing force within us through the music of Blake's poetry."

--Rita Iovino "American Physician's Poetry Association "

"I believe Dr. John Diamond to be the foremost living advocate for enhancing the Life Force through the Arts. In this book, he reveals the poet William Blake as a healer of extroardinary power. The Healing Power of Blake is strong medicine for our troubled times."

"Diamond, who once owned more than 2,000 books of poetry, chooses Blake to show others how to embrace life, how to ignite that fire in the belly, in the head."
