About Eric Coleman

With a passion for words and a heart dedicated to social change, Eric S. Coleman began his literary journey at Morgan State University. Although Mr. Coleman majored in Biology, writing became a positive outlet, as well as, a way to fill the empty void in his heart. Eric S. Coleman began writing poetry in 1998. In 2002, he became a special education teacher in the Jersey City Public School system and he also published his first book of poetry, God’s Frozen Teardrops. During this time, Eric began performing his poetry in various clubs in New York, New Jersey, Maryland and Washington D.C. Due to the positive response, Eric Coleman began taking his poetry out of the clubs and into the classroom. He toured various schools in Newark and Jersey City, teaching both kids and adults the power in words. Now, Mr. Coleman has embarked on a new journey. With his debut novel, Spirit of the Wind, he seeks to show the world that prayer can change the most difficult situations. Mr. Coleman believes that, “through hard work and prayer you can overcome any obstacle.”
