Introducing Rob Jones
Where did the idea for the story come from?
I wanted somehow to pay tribute to my favorite author, C.S. Lewis. He loved poetry, so since I am a poet, I thought what better way to honor him than by writing a poetry book based on his writings.
Give a quote from the books, one that says little but speaks volumes.
The Hidden Work
Embrace me in your hands, yield to my form.
Surrender in silence and breathe me in.
In my chrysalis of myth, be transformed,
Completely, entirely from within.
Encounter a faerie realm that transcends,
As I escort you into the unknown,
Where an epic, a saga, a quest begins.
In these pages, you will find your true home,
Where imagination can freely roam.
I am sure to furnish you with pleasure,
Once you take me in, and grasp what I’ve shown:
Suspended in prose, poets to treasure.
Submit and receive is all I demand;
I’ll do the hidden work, while in your hands.

Description
C.S. Lewis is one of history’s most influential and thought-provoking writers. Like many others who encountered his impeccable work, his writings profoundly impacted the life and imagination of poet, Rob Jones. His writing engages not only the mind but the whole person. He has opened a wardrobe containing truth, goodness, and beauty, which has cultivated wonder within the poet’s heart and inflamed his creativity.

Accompanied by the poems are quotes from his books. Some of the poems extract C.S. Lewis’s meaning, while others are what the poet extrapolated from his quotes.
