Forgotten Ground Regained

Contributor: L.A. (Larry) Hood

Larry A. Hood (1951-2021) , a resident of Oklahoma, worked in the family business as a bricklayer after a brief stint in the U.S. Navy, but was an active correspondent with penpals all over the world. An autodidact, he joined Ða Engliscan Gesithas and taught himself Old English. Writing and poetry were his passion; he translated the entire Bible into Old English, translated Old English riddles into modern English, and wrote modern English poems in the Old English style. He was for many years a leader in Winlandes Scir, the North American branch of Ða Engliscan Gesithas.
His alliterative verse includes the following poems originally published in Withowinde, and is reprinted here with the permission of his family:
