Most of the sonnets are thought to have been written between 1609 and 1611 but were not published until two decades later-two years after Donne's death. The \u003ci\u003eHoly Sonnets\u003c\/i\u003e explore the poet's fear and trembling when faced with the realisation of his mortality and self-described unworthiness as a recipient of God's grace and mercy. Donne's poems navigate through his doubts in search of a divine comfort and assurance in the hope of salvation and eternal life.With an introduction by poet John Daniel Thieme.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn Daniel Thieme is a poet, historian, translator and folklorist.
