Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics

A 1919 collection of lyric poems published under the pseudonym Clive Hamilton, this is C. S. Lewis's first book. Written largely during his student years and World War I service, the verses move between romantic nature imagery and bleak expressions of doubt about nature, evil, and God.
