Badly done.

This recording and also the other one on audible have the poems read in the wrong order from as written and published. It makes following the text impossible and destroys the rhythm of the book.

Wrong order

Why mix up Innocence and Experience? It’s an insult to Blake and makes no sense! Very very unhappy!
