Herb is a budding, twenty-year-old African-American wordsmith from Chicago with a penchant for fiction, poetry, music, and trees. Perhaps you’ve seen him—a skinny red-eyed kid sipping a scalding cup of tea, completely engrossed in a paperback or tarnished notebook. Or maybe you’ve read some of his previously published works, which include a self-published collection of poems--but let’s be honest--you probably haven’t. One thing’s for sure, whether or not you’ve heard of Herb or not, he’s an author to keep your eyes on.
