Come meet E.R.B. Stepansky as she signs her poetry collection, "Life Beyond the Human Soul" on Sunday September 13 at Werner Books & Coffee.
E. R. B. Stepansky is an up-and-coming artist, poetess, and self-published author originally from Evergreen Park, IL who currently resides in Jamestown, NY. She is known for her eloquent use of language, philosophical viewpoints, and her ability to capture the often-overlooked aspects of life in a few lines.
In addition to self-publishing "Life Beyond The Human Soul" in 2025, Stepansky has been traditionally published in The Lyric, the oldest magazine in North America dedicated to traditional poetry (2025), as well as in Inkwell: Volume 2, the second anthology published by The Decatur Area Poets (2026). She draws creative inspiration from both her spirituality and the natural world, allowing the subconscious intricacies of life to shape and influence her poetry and artwork.
