Welcome to Litsy!

In 2021, I‘m endeavoring to read all of CS Lewis‘ works in chronological order. I honestly did not know what to expect since this predates his dramatic conversion. These poems were so moving! They are clearly a window into his tormented soul as he sought to reconcile the idea of a just, loving God with the horrors of WWI. This book was a wonderful way to launch my exploration into Lewis‘ mind and heart. I recommend this book.

An excerpt from what I think is one of the better poems. It‘s so clear that he was very young when he wrote these poems! #currentlyreading

This is pre-conversion Lewis, and you can tell. But there‘s some amazing imagery here. #currentlyreading #poetrymatters
