Susan McCaslin

Letters to William Blake

"A superbly designed book, serious as well as flippant, the letters combine intense personal statements, often satirically directed, with more general social comments. The message is powerful yet balanced by McCaslin's almost clerical precision in detailing her spiritual insights." – Allan Brown
