Shameless, Enthusiastic Promotion!

I have been recently introduced to what is, in my experience, one of the most esoteric of graphic novels, "The Poet and the Flea: An Ode to William Blake." My introduction was courtesy of its author, G.E. Gallas (who can be found at http://gegallaswriterillustrator.wordpress.com/ ). Being most impressed by both the text and illustrations, I feel obliged to recommend the work to all and sundry  who may read this. To add some substance to my earnest suggestion that the work is well worth checking out, here is a link to it:  https://t.co/zfxTaQRurG

To the best of my recollection, the last time that William Blake was the subject of a modern treatment was back in 1995, when he figured large in Jim Jarmusch's film, "Dead Man." Now, twenty years later and in a different medium, the 18th century genius is once more brought before the communal public eye. My fervent wish is that the public opens its eye wide to Ms. Gallas and her work.
Should anyone reading this be a Twitter user, the author of "The Poet and the Flea" can be found on that platform as @gegallas; check her out and be informed, entertained and hardly alone.
