Losing Ground: A Series Of Sonnets is a collection of poems written by Herbert Wolcott Bowen and originally published in 1891. The book consists of a series of sonnets, which are 14-line poems that follow a specific rhyme scheme and meter. The poems in Losing Ground explore themes of loss, grief, and the passage of time. Bowen reflects on the transience of life and the inevitability of death, as well as the ways in which memories and emotions can linger even after a loved one is gone. The language of the poems is lyrical and evocative, with Bowen using vivid imagery and metaphor to convey his ideas. Many of the sonnets are deeply personal, drawing on the author’s own experiences of loss and mourning. Overall, Losing Ground: A Series Of Sonnets is a poignant and moving collection of poetry that offers a powerful exploration of the human condition. It is a timeless work that continues to resonate with readers today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
