Positively preoccupied with character, Eric Jan Larsen's Lonesome Love offers a collection of poems that touch upon the South, the Civil War, race and equality, family history, and the pandemic to explore what now seems like long forgotten virtues: integrity, dignity, empathy and compassion. Expanding on subjects expressed in earlier poems, the author has composed verse that speaks to contemporary and traditional issues such as the environment, political division, American values, and the virtues found in our struggles and triumphs living with ourselves and others. In the end, the poems subtly suggest that character, no matter how far away, eventually comes to everyone and that we must learn to adjust to misfortune as well as the joy in life.
