From the pen of one of the twentieth century's most celebrated literary minds comes Poems, a posthumous collection that presents the full breadth of C. S. Lewis's poetic vision — tender, philosophical, and shot through with an unmistakable spiritual luminosity. Edited by Walter Hooper and first published by Geoffrey Bles in 1964, the collection gathers verse composed across Lewis's lifetime, ranging from meditations on nature, mythology, and mortality to wry observations on the human condition, all unified by a voice at once rigorously intellectual and deeply personal. Lewis, best known for his prose works and the beloved Narnia chronicles, reveals himself here as a poet of considerable craft and ambition, working in traditional forms with a confidence that echoes his deep reverence for the great poets of the English and classical canons. The collection illuminates the theological and philosophical preoccupations that animate all of his writing — the numinous breaking through the ordinary, the ache of longing, the weight of joy — and invites readers to encounter a dimension of Lewis that prose alone could never fully contain. For those who believed they knew C. S. Lewis entirely, Poems offers a quietly astonishing revelation.
