Lamar SmithThe author was born in Jamaica Queens, New York on August 24th, 1999. He grew up in a household with a Christian background and is the youngest out of six siblings. From a young age, he had a love for art, drawing many things such as cartoon charactes and realism. After graduating from high school, he fell in love with the art of poetry, giving him a way to express emotions that were hidden for a long time. One person who motivated him to write was Tupac Shakur, who, in fact, was a poet himself. One of Tupac's quotes that inspired him states, "Behind every sweet smile there's a bitter sadness that no one can ever see and feel". Though Tupac was an inspiration to him, his great inspiration is God. He sees himself becoming an artist and aspiring poet in the future, releasing many more books with the help of Christ Jesus.
