He’s been writing poetry since he was 13—inspired by having to memorize Langston Hughes’ “Harlem” for a Black History Program at his Presbyterian church home. Jermaine loves language for what it creates\, what it destroys\, for what it binds in heaven\, & what it looses on earth. Jermaine is an educator who has publications in The Pinch\, Memorious\, Whale Road Review\, Southern Indiana Review\, and New Letters.
