Poetry by C. S. Lewis

Poetry by C. S. Lewis explores the nature and purpose of poetic expression, arguing that poetry is not mere ornament but a vital mode of knowledge and experience. Lewis examines how poetry awakens imagination, conveys truth through emotion and symbol, and shapes moral and spiritual understanding. Drawing on literary tradition and philosophy, the book reflects Lewis's belief that poetry reconnects modern readers with wonder, meaning, and the deeper realities often lost in rational or utilitarian thinking.
