About the Author / Poet
Hello. My name is Benjamin and I write all the material for this site. I had an email conversation with someone the other day who was confused as to who wrote the poems. They are originals. I have been writing for over thirty years. Most of my poetry is online. I maintain several blogs. They are listed below for those interested in taking a look.
