Lee Eric Freedman is the 3rd Poet Laureate of Swampscott (2016-2018).
Since 2011 he's been affectionately entitled as the
Renegade Poet Laureate of Swampscott (2011-FOREVER)
(This honorarium was bestowed upon him by his friend and storyteller Tony Toledo). He is truly honored and humbled to be both.
When Lee isn't busy being any type of Laureate he leads the Tin Box Poets of Swampscott Workshop Group, hosts the monthly First Friday Open Mic @ ReachArts Swampscott and regularly performs at open-mics all over the place. He’s a three time winner of the Naomi Cherkofsky Memorial Poetry Contest.
