Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics
"Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics" by C. S. Lewis is a poetry collection published in 1919. Lewis's first published work, written at age twenty under a pseudonym after returning from World War I, presents a worldview strikingly different from his later writings. Divided into three sections—The Prison House, Hesitation, and The Escape—these poems explore themes of spiritual imprisonment, nature's cruelty, and human disappointment from an agnostic perspective, incorporating mythology and wartime imagery throughout.
Dymer
"Dymer" by C. S. Lewis is a narrative poem published in 1926. This epic follows a young man who murders his lecturer and escapes a totalitarian state mockingly called "The Perfect City." Wandering into the wilderness, Dymer encounters mysterious figures, including an unseen lover in an abandoned mansion. His actions spark revolution behind him, while supernatural forces pull him toward a devastating confrontation with a monstrous offspring born from his union with a divine being.
