Ben wrote his first poems in Texas where he grew up. He then moved to Berkeley, Boston, Philadelphia and finally Northeast Ohio.
While he has written for himself for over 40 years, he only began writing for others to read since January 2010. The Russell Writers in Middletown, Connecticut gave birth to his joy for sharing his writings with others.
Ben's writings fall into three genres: love, nature, and giving voice to his search for his place in the world. The Cuyahoga Valley National Park is a source for his inspiration for poetry, prose and life.
Ben would like to recognize the Akron Writers' Group for their criticism and tolerance during the creation of A Wish for Remotion.
