Chronicles of a Romantic

By Eric Von Jares

Chronicles of a Romantic captures the life experience of a passionate soul over a fifty years period. This book will help you rediscover the lost art of poetry. Chronicles of a Romantic is a collection of poetic odes, soliloquies, free verse, and rhymed poetry which explore the intriguing topics of love, nature, life spirit, family and social/political issues. Stunning original black and white photographs from all over the world accompany many of the fifty-four poems included in this anthology. The writings are deeply personal to the author; influenced from life experiences of love gained, love lost, memories from childhood, world travels, recovery from a brain tumor, affirming faith, and the passing away of his only granddaughter. The author, Eric Von Jares, wrote his first poem at age fifteen, and became a lifelong fan of the written word. He has been published in several poetry anthologies over the years, and those poems are included in this - his first poetry book. This actual passion project developed many years to fruition.
