"This flows from a recurring fascination with groups committed to producing culture challenging and culture changing material"
Ode to Jack
A bed of glowing embers,Voices fill the room
Laughter echoes through the chamber
As the shadows dance and loom
The host of this gathering
Arises in the midst
Knocks upon his ancient chair
And reads down through the list
All his friends are at last
The process may begin
Reality is at the gate
This may not occur again
The laughter of men at midnight
Creative works out loud
It might work to intimidate
If you looked around the crowd
There's Tolkien with his script
Will it ever be done?
Tonight he has decided
That he should bring his son
And Williams what of him?
So different from the rest
Time is a cruel master
Can his writing stand the test?
The Elder Lewis' works are read
Not far outside this place
But for him the goal's not fame
Rather just to show his face
As Jack stands in the middle
There's joy within his soul
For Inklings is truly his group
It is, His all in all
