World Poetry

Eric looks at the world through the prism of his Black life in America. He expresses himself in poetry and prose. He explores the humanity of the world and faith. Anger and love blended together and compiled from his Facebook posts over several years. He grew up in Chicago around mostly Black people the first 13 years of his life. He was exposed to Whites in high school in a limited and, sometimes, hostile manner.

To see the world through the eyes of the child's eye. This is the challenge of any good poetry.
