Description
Sparrowhawk explores the themes that are characteristic of his poetry: nature, identity, love, loss, mythology and his love of cinema. Lewis observes the world around him, meditates in silence and translates his emotions into words and imagery. With his poetry - as with his painting - Lewis attempts to discover identity and to express his sensitivity through hidden messages, leaving us wondering which mysterious clues could open things up. In fact, Lewis writes in his poem The Poets: "They bathe in mysteries while others only seek to explain them." If Lewis' poems are mysterious and intriguing, they are also rich and magical. A joy to explore.
