Backseat Emperor is an ambitious and world-weary cry into the night of uncertainty written mainly during the Covid-19 lockdown era and beyond. Whether expounding on the anxiety of fatherhood amidst the worldwide chaos or musing on his own interrupted artistic ambitions or growing concerns for the state of society as a whole, Eric Lawson delivers an embarrassment of poetic riches. This book is for anyone who feels alone, helpless, confused, broken, dismissed, and yet who yearns for a better future for themselves and their loved ones. There are much-needed laughs interspersed as the poet uses humor like deftly placed rays of sunshine. Summed up succinctly in the title poem, we all must reject the interference of our own backseat drivers to take control of our destiny.
