Impressions Through a Timeworn Lens

<p><span style=color: rgba(0 0 0 1)>It's hard to be romantic in the twenty-first century. Personal encounters and thoughtful letters have given way to terse emails and unintelligible text messages. The divisiveness that pervades today's social conversation chills the romantic spirit and limits the special moments that inspire true romance. The sensibilities of lovers young and old have become increasingly cautious and cynical diminishing romantic instincts and expectations of loving relationships. It's past time to return to traditional values. This book is a retrospective about true love found and lost in the sway of the love generation and explains why those experiences have meaning and value in the twenty-first century. It demonstrates how poetry can inspire hope and passion for those in search of romanticism. Its central message is that hope lies in the journey whether one is navigating the chaos of the love generation or the artificial intelligence of the modern world.</span></p>
