Forgotten Ground Regained

Clive Staples Lewis

Review by Dennis Wise
C.S. Lewis (1898-1963) was one of the Inklings at Oxford, along with J.R.R. Tolkien. He is far too well-known to belabor the point on this site.
Links to some of his minor alliterative poems:
  • The Planets
  • We Were Talking of Dragons
  • Artless and Ignorant is Andvari
  • Mód Þrýþe Ne Wæg
These three poems, plus two more ("Sweet Desire" amd "Viva Voce Examination Session") are published in Dennis Wise's critical anthology of modern alliterative verse. Wise also published Lewis' most important alliterative poem , "The Nameless Isle", which can also be found in his Narrative Poems.
