Often overshadowed by the work of his more famous contemporaries, Spenser and Shakespeare, Davies' poetry of meaning is due for a revival. His is a voice desperately needed in the midst of our current intellectual malaise. A new generation is rising, searching for answers, desperate to understand the cosmic coherence they intuitively feel. Lied to by our own modern-day poets and lyricists, it is high time we return to the voices of sanity, the poets who took seriously and believed implicitly the first words of Scripture: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth."
