Eric Laurence Glassman was born March 5, 1973 in Cleveland, Ohio. He has been writing poetry since he was seventeen years old. He was first introduced to poetry by reading the Doors lead singer Jim Morrison's work. This led him to investigate poetry further and it turned him on to William Blake, Charles Baudelaire, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, Oscar Wilde, Allen Ginsberg, Jack Keroauc and Charles Bukowski. Mixing these influences Eric came up with his own poetry style. He is a part beat, part psychedelic and part symbolist poet. This channel is all about my poetry.
