Compiled and Edited by Denis J. Conlon The long-awaited second volume of Chesterton's collected poetry is now here. Edited by Denis J. Conlon, this book picks up where the last volume left off, continuing the complete collection of the great Christian writer's verse with all poems, both published and uncollected, until 1900. A third volume covering 1901-1936 is forthcoming. Illustrated with Chesterton's own sketches, and including poems written when he was a child, this fascinating collection is an essential addition to any Chestertonian's library. Includes Greybeards at Play and Clerihews. With an index of first lines, titles, and refrains.

A delightful collection... (Vol. X of the series),
By
This review is from: The Collected Works of G.K. Chesterton: Collected Poetry Part 1 (Paperback)
Chesterton lovers and lovers of poetry in the classical English forms will enjoy this collection of poems by one of the 20th century's greatest stylists, G.K. Chesterton. After a section of juvenalia, the poems are arranged by broad subject. My only complaint with the volume is that it is not complete, and that Ignatius Press has not yet released Part 2 of the Collected Poetry. But you will find many things in this volume in no other collection of Chesterton's poetry, including his poem about Notre Dame football. So if you enjoy Chesterton, or poetry, or both, check out this book.
