In a world where honesty and integrity have become the hallmarks of lying politicians and media dog packs mongrelize truth like a love letter to the hungry, Eric David Lough's poetry is like mana to the soul of anyone lost for honest words. Inspirational poetry is not the soul property of the learned and wise or the metaphysical pursuit of them privileged by birth, good fortune or status. Poetry belongs to those who have the courage to feel and to look at themselves with the compassion of a physician, and the mind of a comedian. "The Baritones Came in Strong Making the Knees Go Weak" is filled with passionate, excellent, raw writing. A must have.
