A collection of nearly 50 essays in which John Yau, American poet and critic, explores the careers of a wide range of artists and poets who are, like their 19th century precedessor William Blake, dissenters from the prevailing cultural consensus: Wallace Berman, Alfred Starr Hamilton, Jay Defoe, Hilma af Klimt, Katherine Bradford, Forrest Best, Emmet Gowin and Sophia Al-Maria to name but a few.
