About the AuthorMartine Daniel was born in York in 1981.

Her dreams of seeing her name in print never dimmed, despite her life being turned upside down by episodes of mania, depression and psychosis during her late teens and early twenties.In 2003 the pressures of a stressful job brought on an episode of psychotic mania, which led to the breakdown that ended her hopes of a career in bookselling, following which Martine was finally forced into contact with local mental health services. With the help of medication and the support of her family, she began to pick up the pieces of her life and started work on her first novel The Fire in Your Eyes (published 2009), juggling work on the novel with her studies with The Open University. Her second novel, Legacy of Lies, the sequel to The Fire in Your Eyes, and her third novel, Wading the Waters of my Mind, were both published in 2010. Martine is a keen supporter of the Time to Change campaign and hopes that her writing can help to put an end to the stigma of mental illness.

This book is addressed to the 18th century English Romantic poet and artist, William Blake. Blake is well known for his illuminated books, including Songs of Innocence and Songs of Experience, and his epic poems, including Milton and Jerusalem. Born in 1757, Blake went to art school at early age. After some time as an apprentice to artist working for the Society of Antiquities, Blake was admitted to the Royal Academy, and exhibited there in 1780. In 1782 Blake married Catherine Boucher, whom he taught how to write and draw. With a career as an artist and poet well underway, Blake took the fateful decision to move from London to Felpham. After an incident with a solder in his front garden, Blake was charged with High Treason, a charge Blake defeated while defending himself. This book is written in poetic prose and follows Blake's work and life to some extent, but mainly uses Blake to formulate poetic brevities to advance the flow of this work addressed to William Blake.Paul Fearne holds a PhD from Latrobe University, and a Masters degree in the philosophy of art on beauty from the University of Melbourne. His poetry has appeared widely, in Westerly, Australian Poetry Journal, Mascara Literary Review, Snorkel, Unusual Work and Stylus, amongst others. Fearne's first book was launched at the 2010 Melbourne Writer's Festival, and he was then interviewed on Radio National around the country. Fearne's interest in 18th / 19th century letters follows up from his last book on Lord Byron, and books on French poets, Paul Verlaine, Mallarme, Baudelaire and Rimbaud.

I know not of the veracity of the contents of this book because I am but a poet.This book is an attempt to create thematic continuity within a generic division into memoir, prose-fiction, and poetry, as is the tendency with memoirs in the postmodern epoch it is fragmented. Having said that all the material of whatever genre has a material base in 'lived experience', but it is also the work of a creative mind. Therefore, it is for the reader to engage. As Jean-Paul Sartre argued in What is LiteratureThe dialectic is nowhere more apparent than in theart of writing for the literary object is a peculiar topthis exists only in movement. To make it comeinto view a concrete act called reading is necessary,and it lasts only as this act lasts. Beyond that, there are only black marks on the paper.- Sartre (2010) What is Literature, p. 29.Nigel was born in autumn 1959. His life has been 'colourful' or 'chequered' depending on whom you ask.
