By Herbert Wolcott Bowen

Book Overview

""Losing Ground: A Series of Sonnets"" is a collection of 14 sonnets written by Herbert Wolcott Bowen and published in 1891. The sonnets explore themes of loss, regret, and the passing of time. The poems are written in iambic pentameter and follow the traditional rhyme scheme of a Shakespearean sonnet. Bowen's language is poetic and evocative, using imagery and metaphor to convey the emotions of the speaker. The collection is a reflection on the transience of life and the inevitability of change. Despite its somber tone, ""Losing Ground"" is a beautiful and moving work of poetry that speaks to the universal human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
