Forgotten Ground Regained
J.W. (Jack) Laurel
Jack Laurel has lately been inspired to turn to the project of restoring the lost art of traditional poetry. His thinking is influenced on one hand by the modern alliterative revivalism of Tolkien and Lewis, and on the other by the Parry-Lord school founded on the Homeric poems and the oral traditions of the Balkans. He is also interested in reconnecting the poetic art with memory techniques, music, and esoteric knowledge.
His alliterative poetry includes "Weyland's Revenge" in Illuminations of the Fantastic, 17, Epic Poetry III, Forgotten Ground Regained. He has also done an alliterative translation of the Old English poem, "The Wanderer".
