"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.

This book is Walter Hooper’s collection of various C.S. Lewis poems written throughout his life. The poetry here is so much better than the poetry in Dymer! Maybe because Lewis never intended most of them to be published, they have a beautifully relaxed quality. They seem like poems that naturally popped into his head, rather than words he strained to generate. (Of course, that also means some of them feel slightly unfinished). They have a splendid variety of forms, styles, and subjects. As with much of his poetry and technical work, it’s packed with allusions, and some poems are essentially meaningless if you’re not familiar with the allusion, so you want your Google open while reading. The book would be improved with a few footnotes, both to source allusions and to provide context of where/when poems were written and/or published.

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. ( )

I honestly believe that some of these poems, e.g. "The Prodigality of Firdausi," are genuinely great contributions to Engish literature. ( )

Lewis is better known for his philosophical/theological writings and his fiction, but his poems are adequate and, at times, beautiful. ( )

Comprehensive collection with some real gems. ( )
