Dalla quarta di copertina

"This is the best--the glorious best--of Lewis. For here, with the gemlike beauty and hardness that poetry alone can achieve, are his ideas about the nature of things that lay behind his writings."--Christianity Today

Although C.S. Lewis never published a book of verse during his lifetime, he wrote poetry from the age of fourteen. This poetic impulse is evident in much of Lewis's work, including his first prose piece, The Pilgrim's Regress, which contains a number of short lyrics, and his novel Till We Have Faces, which had its beginnings as a long poem.

There is a great variety of subjects in these poems--God and the pagan deities, unicorns, spaceships, nature, love, age, and reason. Walter Hooper, the editor of this collection, points out that the same man is revealed in his poetry as in his prose: "His wonderful imagination is the guiding thread."
