In order to prove his successful reign as the Renegade Poet Laureate of Swampscott by giving vanity a run for its money AND in celebration of his 55^th birthday our feature for this month is Lee Eric Freedman.

Lee Eric Freedman is the 3rd Poet Laureate of Swampscott, Massachusetts (2016-2018). Since 2011 he's been affectionately entitled as the Renegade Poet Laureate of Swampscott (2011-FOREVER). This honorarium bestowed upon him by his friend and storyteller Tony Toledo.
