True

Explanation:

prophet Jeremiah wrote the book of Lamentations at a time when there was individual grief and national mourning, after the once great city of Jerusalem was defeated outrightly by Babylon, circa 586 BC.

The book narrates the great anguish as well as great hope which are all in poetic form. The major message of the book is the judgement of God on Judah's sin and His compassion for His people.
