Joe Christopher’s 18-page chapbook C. S. Lewis: A Biography includes 10 poems about Lewis and bibliographic notes. Joe published 100 copies as part of the centenary celebration. The first poem in the collection, “29 November 1898” begins with this refrain:

The holy man was born in Ireland—
On Belfast Lough, with waves against the strand.

Eerdmans has re-released (in paperback) Corbin Scott Carnell’s superb Bright Shadow of Reality: C. S. Lewis and the Feeling Intellect, re-titling it Bright Shadow of Reality: Spiritual Longing in C. S. Lewis.

It contains information about more than 1,800 items ranging from classics to biographies, mysteries to humor, poetry to audio books and multimedia resources. Provident Book Finder: “Reading this book was almost as helpful as taking a course in the history of children’s literature.” Bibliotheca Sacra: “An entertaining and informative guide.” Librarian’s World: “Direct and inspirational… An excellent help.” Needless to say, this book emphasizes C.
