Poetry books by Nicholas Hagger

The British poet Nicholas Hagger has written Selected Poems, A Metaphysical’s Way of Fire; Collected Poems, A White Radiance 1958–1993; Collected Poems, 1958–2005; and Classical Odes. He has also written two poetic epics: Overlord, The Triumph of Light, an epic poem based on the events of 1944 – 1945, and Armageddon, The Triumph of Universal Order, an epic poem on the War on Terror and of Holy War Crusaders.

Overlord is the first major poetic epic in the English language since Milton’s Paradise Lost. It tells the story of the Second World War from D-Day to the unleashing of the atomic bomb and has an American hero, Eisenhower. Armageddon is also in the tradition of Homer’s Iliad and Virgil’s Aeneid, and its epic mythology includes higher and lower worlds in the Universalist manner. These two works can be classified as American epics, though written by an English poet.
