Although primarily known for his fantasy and Christian apologetics, Lewis actually started his literary career with poetry and brought his amazing precision of word use to craft poetic gems on topics ranging from the planets to laughing at injustice to a "confession" of his inability to see the hidden meanings claimed by literary figures. Many of them pull in mythical figures such as Circe or Greek gods, always incorporating his unique ability to see the meaning behind the mythos. I wrote a college paper defending the thesis that one of his poems, "A Cliche Came Out Of Its Cage," summed up his entire body of literary work. Lewis' poetry demands a breadth of knowledge on the part of the reader, or at least a willingness to research Hesperus and Jove and Athene and Firdausi and dryads and Midgard. But the richly layered and musically enchanting poems are well worth the effort. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"A repackaged edition of the revered author's poetry--a collection of verse that exemplifies and celebrates his breadth of knowledge, his wide-ranging interests, both spiritual and earthly, and his never-ending search to find God and understand the mysteries of the world. Known for his fiction and philosophical nonfiction, C. S. Lewis--the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and bestselling author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics--was also an accomplished poet. In Poems, Lewis dives deep into a wide range of subjects--from God to nature to love to unicorns--revealing his extensive imagination and sense of wonder"-- Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
