SYNOPSIS
A repackaged edition of the revered author’s collection of four poems: “Dymer,” “Launcelot,” “The Nameless Isle,” and “The Queen of Drum.”
C. S. Lewis—the great British writer, scholar, lay theologian, broadcaster, Christian apologist, and author of Mere Christianity, The Screwtape Letters, The Great Divorce, The Chronicles of Narnia, and many other beloved classics—was also a talented poet. In this collection of four longer works of verse, Lewis displays his deep love for medieval and Renaissance poetry and themes, influences that shaped—and resonate through—his fiction.
REVIEW
I love other work by CS Lewis but I did not enjoy this volume of poetry. I really wanted to like it. But alas it was not to be.
Poetry seems to be hit-or-miss, and I don’t always “get it.” But I love C. S. Lewis. I have tickets for my daughter and me to go to the theater Sunday to see “The Great Divorce.” Can’t wait!

It’s put on by Fellowship for Performing Arts. I’m sure their website has an itinerary. It will only be in Louisville for one performance, so if it’s coming to your area, you need to be aware and proactive. 😉👍
