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."
