My poetry bio

Eddie is a writer/poet from Buffalo, NY. The origin of Eddie’s work is born in the dynamic when the dreamer's heart & the rational mind collide. What you get are stories, verses & prose delivered rhythmically with raw emotion and an emphasis on substance over flash. Every poem has meaning. In his work you’ll find recollections, hopes, triumphs, adversity, personal testimonies, and others that might qualify as cultural anthems. The subject matter is as diverse as the poet.
