DeutschThe Future of Forestry
"The Future of Forestry" is a poem by C. S. Lewis and one of three poems, along with "Under Sentence" and "Pan's Purge", where he expressed concern about the impact that modern society and technology would have on the countryside.[1][2] It was first published in The Oxford Magazine in February 1938 and contains themes of social critique that would be present in Lewis's later Narnia series.[3][4] The poem has been compared to later poems, such as Philip Larkin's 1972 work "Going, Going".[5]
The name of the poem helped influence the naming of the California band Future of Forestry.[6][7]
