Glory to the Fires
Glory to the Blood
Glory to the most Holy
Stoke the Crucible of Combat
As it was before
As it is now
As it shall ever be
Eternal War without end.
Arthur Powell is one of the strongest right-wing voices in poetry today. In his debut work Horizons of Iron, Powell commands a variety of moods, shades, and poetic voices, but his poetry remains always muscular and powerful. Writing of his homeland, of nature, and of the degeneracy and promise of modernity, Powell stands in the tradition of Kipling, Henley, and Lord Tennyson, stretching back to the great English bards who sang Beowulf and Gawain—a tradition of masculine poetry as old as the hills. Powell is living proof that this ancient tradition does not lie fallow beneath the barrows of Albion, but is alive and well.
This second edition of Horizons of Iron includes a reflection by Powell on the original collection, as well as ten additional poems of equal strength to it. One of the most beloved volumes of rugged 21st century poetry now finds an expanded edition in Exeter House Publishing.
