About this product
Product Information
Although C. S. Lewis is best known for his prose and for his clear, lucid literary criticism, Christian apologetics, and imaginative Ransom and Narnia stories, he considered himself a poet for the first two and a half decades of his life. Owen Barfield recalls that anyone who met Lewis as a young man in the early 1920s at Oxford University quickly learned he was one "whose ruling passion was to become a great poet. At that time if you thought of Lewis you automatically thought of poetry." The Collected Poems of C. S. Lewis offers readers, for the first time, a one-volume collection of Lewis's poetry, including many poems that have never appeared in print. With the poems arranged in chronological order, this volume allows readers the opportunity to compare the poetry Lewis was writing while he was also writing his fiction and nonfiction prose. Beginning with his earliest lyric poems from 1907, The Collected Poems of C. S. Lewis follows Lewis's efforts to write long, narrative poems, which were particularly influenced by Norse mythology. His outburst of lyric poetry as a young man in the trenches during World War I culminates in his first published work, Spirits in Bondage (1919), followed by his most ambitious narrative poem, Dymer (1926). Both volumes afford unique insights into Lewis the atheist. After his conversion to Christianity in 1930, Lewis wrote a collection of sixteen religious lyrics that he included in The Pilgrim's Regress (1933); as a group, these are considered among his best poems. Until his death in 1963, Lewis continued writing and publishing poetry, often appearing in journals and magazines under his pseudonym N. W., shorthand for the Anglo-Saxon nat whilk , " I know] not whom." As a whole, these latter poems are either occasional verses, burlesques, and erudite satires or they are contemplative poems musing upon the human condition and its pain, joy, suffering, pride, love, doubt, and faith. The Collected Poems of C. S. Lewis demonstrates a dedicated, determined, and passionate poet at work and illustrates the degree and depth to which poetry shaped Lewis's literary, intellectual, emotional, and spiritual life.

Reviews
"Don King has done a great service in collecting Lewis's poetry into one volume, including a good many poems never published before. C. S. Lewis is so widely admired as a prose writer that it is easy to overlook his accomplishments as a poet. But here we find the precocious adolescent perfecting his craft in a surprising variety of forms and meters: the eloquent war poet, whose best pieces rival those of Wilfred Owen; the spiritual pilgrim, who eventually found what he was seeking; and the witty occasional poet with a zest for whimsy and satire. Professor King is the world's leading authority on Lewis's poetry, and so his critical introduction and comprehensive notes invite readers to discover a delightful and thought-provoking side of Lewis they may have not seen before."--David C. Downing, author of Planets in Peril: C. S. Lewis's Ransom Trilogy and Looking for the King: An Inklings Novel "This magisterial critical work by Professor King provides students of Lewis's poetry unprecedented chronological access to the full range of his poems, and makes possible a comprehensive reassessment of Lewis's enduring talent as a poet."--Bruce L. Edwards, Professor Emeritus, English and Africana Studies, Bowling Green State University, and editor of C. S. Lewis: Life, Works, and Legacy (4 volumes)

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
