SONNETS FROM A PRISON CAMP

By ARCHIBALD ALLEN 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 these 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.”

Punch.—­“This admirable book....  I would certainly recommend intending historians to lay in these three volumes as an epitome in a brilliant shorthand of the facts and moods of the war—­packed with shrewd comment and happy strokes of irony....  As a literary and dramatic tour de force I should judge it to be unsurpassed of its kind.”
