From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lamentation       (Heb. qinah), an elegy or dirge. The first example of this form       of poetry is the lament of David over Saul and Jonathan (2 Sam.       1:17-27). It was a frequent accompaniment of mourning (Amos       8:10). In 2 Sam. 3:33, 34 is recorded David's lament over Abner.       Prophecy sometimes took the form of a lament when it predicted       calamity (Ezek. 27:2, 32; 28:12; 32:2, 16).
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Lamentations, Book of       called in the Hebrew canon _'Ekhah_, meaning "How," being the       formula for the commencement of a song of wailing. It is the       first word of the book (see 2 Sam. 1:19-27). The LXX. adopted       the name rendered "Lamentations" (Gr. threnoi = Heb. qinoth) now       in common use, to denote the character of the book, in which the       prophet mourns over the desolations brought on the city and the       holy land by Chaldeans. In the Hebrew Bible it is placed among       the Khethubim. (See {BIBLE}.)                As to its authorship, there is no room for hesitancy in       following the LXX. and the Targum in ascribing it to Jeremiah.       The spirit, tone, language, and subject-matter are in accord       with the testimony of tradition in assigning it to him.       According to tradition, he retired after the destruction of       Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar to a cavern outside the Damascus       gate, where he wrote this book. That cavern is still pointed       out. "In the face of a rocky hill, on the western side of the       city, the local belief has placed 'the grotto of Jeremiah.'       There, in that fixed attitude of grief which Michael Angelo has       immortalized, the prophet may well be supposed to have mourned       the fall of his country" (Stanley, Jewish Church).                The book consists of five separate poems. In chapter 1 the       prophet dwells on the manifold miseries oppressed by which the       city sits as a solitary widow weeping sorely. In chapter 2 these       miseries are described in connection with the national sins that       had caused them. Chapter 3 speaks of hope for the people of God.       The chastisement would only be for their good; a better day       would dawn for them. Chapter 4 laments the ruin and desolation       that had come upon the city and temple, but traces it only to       the people's sins. Chapter 5 is a prayer that Zion's reproach       may be taken away in the repentance and recovery of the people.                The first four poems (chapters) are acrostics, like some of       the Psalms (25, 34, 37, 119), i.e., each verse begins with a       letter of the Hebrew alphabet taken in order. The first, second,       and fourth have each twenty-two verses, the number of the       letters in the Hebrew alphabet. The third has sixty-six verses,       in which each three successive verses begin with the same       letter. The fifth is not acrostic.                Speaking of the "Wailing-place (q.v.) of the Jews" at       Jerusalem, a portion of the old wall of the temple of Solomon,       Schaff says: "There the Jews assemble every Friday afternoon to       bewail the downfall of the holy city, kissing the stone wall and       watering it with their tears. They repeat from their well-worn       Hebrew Bibles and prayer-books the Lamentations of Jeremiah and       suitable Psalms."
