SONNETS FROM A PRISON
CAMP
By ARCHIBALD ALLAN BOWMAN
Crown 8vo. 5s. net.
This book falls naturally in two parts; the first is a sonnet sequence describing the author’s capture with his battalion in the great March Offensive, his weary tramp as a prisoner, and internment in a German camp; the second consists of a series of meditative sonnets on theses inevitably suggested by close confinement. The poems show great promise, their intense sincerity being foremost among their merits.
Morning Post.—“Mr. Bowman’s rich and dignified sonnets.”
Scotsman.—“There is only one possible verdict on this volume—well done.”
