He was a published poet

Lewis loved to write, but poetry was his first love. The collection of poems that Lewis wrote as a teenager made up his first book. He created poetry on purpose in hopes of becoming a famous poet, so that he could publish it and make a splash. The collection of poems that Lewis wrote as a teenager made up his first book. He created poetry on purpose in hopes of becoming a famous poet, so that he could publish it and make a splash. His debut work, Spirits in Bondage: A Cycle of Lyrics, was released in 1919, a year before he turned 21. By the time he was 16 or 17, he had written almost an entire book. Lewis did not believe in God at the time, and the content reflects that view. Not many books are sold.

Dymer, his second collection of poetry, was published in 1926 but did not fare well. He continued to write poetry throughout his life, and many of them were published in various media, but he did not submit any of them to student publications. His first two collections of poetry, Spirits in Bondage and Dymer, both published early in his career, are attributed to Clive Hamilton (Clive is his first name, while Hamilton is his son's first name. his mother's daughter).

Lewis' atheism and dualism, in which the spirit is beautiful and the body evil, are reflected in their poetry, most of which was written after 1917 and during the war. Lewis's interest in Irish mythology is evident in some poems, while his battle experience is recorded in others. The poems are derivative and more appealing to Lewis's philosophical understanding than their artistic merit.
