About Benway

A 24 year-old male, a writer and thinker by nature, living and working in small-town Iowa under the radar of prestige, beyond the long shadows of the ivory towers of academia. Presently, a merry bum, cutting a pay check and leaving a few literary scratches here and there on the minds and pages he comes across.


Interests

Literature, poetry, writing, philosophy, psychology, sociology, anthropology, religions, the sciences.

Occupation

Writer, Armchair Philosopher


"For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noise way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion."
— Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
