Is there any other poet who illustrates his poems like William Blake?

Why so? It reflects traces of Romanticism, and it seems enough.

You're embarrassing, you ignorant turd; now fuck off somewhere else, and learn about capital letters and full stops.

In my country putting together poetry and art is very common. We call such books "graphic folders" (the latter word in the traditional, not technological sense), where a poet and an artist get together and create one whole book. The ones I've seen, however, don't treat the art as mere illustrations for the poems, the poetry and the art function more like parallel works.
Pic related is a well known older example. The art is still illustrative in this case.
I'm not sure if this format caught on anywhere else in the world. I definitely couldn't find an equivalent in anglo literature.

It's actually Croatian

I'm not sure if you'll find such collections, though. Very few copies get produced (my mother worked on one and they printed just 60 pieces, which were given out for free) and even fewer, if any, get translated together with the art.
However, I still recommend looking out for the one I posted, Ivan Goran Kovačić's "Jama" (The Pit), with art by Edo Murtić and Zlatko Prica. The poem has been translated into plenty of languages and hopefully they reproduced the art as well in at least some editions.

Btw - Henri Matisse made "Jazz", which is iirc based on a similar concept, look it up.

Picture quality and size can vary, why would you spend money on shitty reproductions?

Thank you, sincerely. I've written them down into my notebook.

Thank you too. His artwork merged with his poems seems like Blake's works. I think your suggestion will work out for me.
