He is the father of two beautiful daughters; Stefany Carissa Forsythe and Abbigail Jane Forsythe. Erick received the poetic torch from his father, Pasquale William Forsythe, who himself is also a well accomplished writer. Erick uses poetry as both a portal to the past and a gateway to the future. Sometimes the past simply cannot be forgotten. Therefore he chooses to memorialize it through the written word. Likewise the future can at times be so within reach yet so unattainable that the only way to control it is by confining it to paper through his pen. Poetry is for Erick what therapy is for most others. It is a channel through which the deepest of emotions, struggles, joys, regrets, hopes, dreams and fears are all expressed without prejudice or judgment. For Erick, poetry equals existence.
