Mark Vernon returns to discuss his new book, “Awake: William Blake and the Power of the Imagination,” presenting Blake not just as a poet and artist but as a guide for our times. In it, he explains Blakes thought on imagination as a living, universal flow we can align with as conscious collaborators, present in science as much as in art, rather than a private fantasy generated by the brain. Drawing on his psychotherapy work and Blake’s insights, Vernon contrasts the suffering of a narrowed imagination with the liberating, discerning alignment that opens life up. It’s a conversation about reclaiming imagination as a way of knowing and living, here and now.
