Spirits in Bondage

More about the book

At just twenty years old, C. S. Lewis explores profound themes of loss and longing in his debut poetry collection, published under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton. Comprising three sections, the work showcases a variety of styles and rhythms, reflecting his experiences post-World War I. Encouraged by his tutor, Lewis breaks the norm of waiting to publish, offering a poignant glimpse into his early literary voice and emotional landscape.
