Review: Spirits in Bondage by C.S. Lewis

Synopsis: This is a collection of poems written by Lewis early in his life. They represent some of his first work - prose or poetry - and it's before he become a Christian. The poems were written intending to be a cycle, one long connected thought.

Review: This is my first introduction to Lewis' poetry and I enjoyed it. Unlike others who draw from mythology and ancient stories, Lewis doesn't get bogged down or make the reader feel stupid for not knowing. His poetry is rhythmic and lyrical, like reading music. It is clear that even at the beginning of his writing career he was excellent.
