Fourteen Eighty-Five & Other Poems J a Bosworth

These poems are drawn from a larger body of the author's work and include a selection of ekphrastic poems. J. A. Bosworth describes himself as a New Traditionist poet, and most of the poems published here are representative of his New Traditionist Poetry. The aims of New Traditionalism include the creation of poems and other artworks that are new (original and modern) in their thought and vocabulary - he is not afraid to coin neologisms, or resurrect obsolete words, whenever the situation seems to require them - but more traditional in their accessible forms, styles and comprehensibility. A Bosworthian Sonnet has a final rhymed couplet one foot longer than the other 12 lines, which are usually rhymed or unrhymed pentameters, but are often irregular.
