Although best known as C. S. Lewis's wife, Joy Davidman (1915-1960)
was a gifted writer herself who published, among other things, a
volume of poetry and two novels in her short lifetime. This book is
the first comprehensive collection of Davidman's poetry, including
her published collection Letters to a Comrade (1938), forty other
published poems, and more than two hundred previously unpublished
poems. Of special interest is her sequence of forty-five love
sonnets to C. S. Lewis, which offer stunning evidence of Davidman's
spiritual struggles with regard to her feelings for Lewis, her
sense of God's working in her lonely life, and her mounting
frustration with Lewis for keeping her at arm's length emotionally
and physically. This moving collection of poems lends credence to
Davidman's stature as an important twentieth-century American poet.
